Abstract: anticolonial struggle but failed to recognize that their struggle for dignity and survival constituted a "genuine political struggle" (164).In sum, Altan's study points to the irony that Chinese nationalist intellectuals accepted the logic of developmentalism even though laborers withheld their labor and bodies from France's developmental project, the Yunnan-Indochina railway.JoshuA h.howArd
