How do insecure layers of the working class resist when they lack access to power and organization at the workplace? The community strike represents one possible approach. Whereas traditional workplace strikes target employers and exercise power by withholding labor, community strikes focus on the sphere of reproduction, target the state, and build power through moral appeals and disruptions of public space. Drawing on ethnography and interviews in the impoverished Black townships and informal settlements around Johannesburg, I illustrate this approach by examining widespread local protests in South Africa. Insecurely employed and unemployed residents implemented community strikes by demanding public services, barricading roads and destroying property, and boycotting activities such as work and school. Within these local revolts, community represented both a site of struggle and a collective actor. While community strikes enabled economically insecure groups to mobilize and make demands, they also confronted significant limits, including tensions between protesters and workers.

社区罢工:从不稳定到激进组织

缺乏安全感的工人阶级在工作场所无法获得权力和组织时如何抵抗?社区罢工代表了一种可能的方法。传统的工作场所罢工针对雇主并通过扣留劳动力来行使权力,而社区罢工则侧重于再生产领域,针对国家,并通过道德诉求和破坏公共空间来建立权力。我利用约翰内斯堡周围贫困的黑人城镇和非正式定居点的民族志和访谈,通过考察南非广泛的当地抗议活动来说明这种方法。不稳定的就业和失业居民通过要求公共服务、设置路障和破坏财产以及抵制工作和学校等活动来实施社区罢工。在这些地方叛乱中,社区既是斗争的场所,也是集体行动者。虽然社区罢工使经济不安全的群体能够动员起来并提出要求,但他们也面临着重大限制,包括抗议者和工人之间的紧张局势。
