This unique and fascinating book explores three decades of economic
change in China and the consequent transformation of class
relations and class-consciousness in villages and in the urban
workplace. The expert contributors illustrate how the development
of the urban economic environment has led to changes in the urban
working class, through an exploration of the workplace experiences
of rural migrant workers, and of the plight of the old working
class in the state-owned sector. They address questions on the
extent to which migrant workers have become a new working class,
are absorbed into the old working class, or simply remain as
migrant workers. Changes in class relations in villages in the
urban periphery - where the urbanization drive and in-migration has
lead to a new local politics of class differentiation - are also
raised. Presenting new, original field research detailing social
and socio-economic change in China, this book will prove invaluable
to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students with an interest
in Asian studies, public policy, regional and urban studies,
political science or sociology. Contributors: J. Andreas, B.
Carrillo, A. Chan, D.S.G Goodman, P.P. Leung, J. Linchuan Qiu, K.
Siu, A.Y. So, L. Tomba, J. Unger, H. Wang
