Insulated from the dust, noise, and crowds churning outside,
China's luxury hotels are staging areas for the new economic and
political landscape of the country. These hotels, along with other
emerging service businesses, offer an important, new source of
employment for millions of workers, but also bring to light levels
of inequality that surpass most developed nations.
Examining how gender enables the globalization of markets and how
emerging forms of service labor are changing women's social status
in China, "Markets and Bodies" reveals the forms of social
inequality produced by shifts in the economy. No longer working for
the common good as defined by the socialist state, service workers
are catering to the individual desires of consumers. This economic
transition ultimately affords a unique opportunity to investigate
the possibilities and current limits for better working conditions
for the young women who are enabling the development of capitalism
in China.
