In China in recent years, one of the most dramatic and significant
manifestations of modernization and globalization has been a
massive increase in rural-to-urban migration. Termed the floating
population, and numbering upwards of 100 million, these rural
migrants are at the front line of both domestic and global
capitalist development, working for the lowest wages in occupations
that urbanites shun, often in dangerous conditions with little or
no security or legal protections. Women constitute a significant
proportion of the migrant population, yet the influence of gender
and the unique circumstances of women migrants have yet to receive
sufficient scholarly attention. On the Move focuses on the
political, social, economic, and cultural contexts that shape the
experiences of these women. Original fieldwork, as well as analyses
based on in-depth research in multiple regions of China, helps
explore the impact of migration on the identities, values,
worldviews, and social positions of migrant women themselves.
