Based on in-depth ethnographic research - and using an approach
that seeks to understand how migration is experienced by the
migrants themselves - this is a fascinating study of the
experiences of women in rural China who joined the vast migration
to Beijing and other cities at the end of the twentieth century. It
focuses on the experiences of rural-urban migrants, the particular
ways in which they talk about those experiences, and how those
experiences affect their sense of identity. Through first-hand
accounts of actual migrant workers, the author provides valuable
insights into how rural women negotiate rural/urban experiences;
how they respond to migration and life in the city; and how that
experience shapes their world view, values, and relations with
others. The book makes a major contribution to our understanding of
the relationship between gender and social change, and of the ways
in which globalization and modernity are experienced at the most
personal level.
