Four decades of economic reform have made China one of the most
unequal countries in the world – but the impact of this
inequality is not just socioeconomic. Love Troubles is the first
book to examine the emotional cost of this inequality to the
intimate and emotional lives of China’s people. Drawing on
first-hand ethnographic research among rural migrant factory
workers in the Pearl River Delta in southern China, Wanning Sun
critically analyzes narratives about love, romance, and intimacy in
contemporary Chinese public discourses. Examining the impact of
economic and cultural inequality on private life, this book both
embodies and facilitates an intimate turn in the study of China’s
social change, and presents a significant intellectual intervention
into worldwide debates on inequality.
