This book offers an engaging and unique view of the governance of
Chinese rural migrants in non-factory areas of manufacturing towns.
By asking how authorities govern migrants as an ongoing source of
cheap labor, this book demonstrates and interprets authorities'
power exercised in the form of governing rationalities,
regulations, programs, activities, and designated non-factory
spaces-town and village centers and migrant living zones. These
power exercises take place routinely in migrants' everyday lives
but typically veil themselves, producing knowledge that legitimates
our understanding of migrants. Based on their power exercises,
authorities' governance of migrants, like multiple "invisible
filters" that select and help create migrant labor in non-factory
areas, leads to an inclusion of a certain number of migrants as
cheap factory workers and an exclusion of the rest. Nevertheless,
by exercising their unique power techniques, migrants can resist
and alter authority governance; thus the authorities' power
exercises are deficient and may ultimately be futile. This book
details these power exercises, offers rewarding insights, and can
greatly enrich our understanding of China's local governance of
migrants and migrant resistance.
