Rural-Urban Migration in China - The Impact of New Media (Hardcover)

This book attempts to document and analyse the complicated role new media play in the adaptation and integration of China's new generation of migrant workers. By analysing the interviews and observations of more than five hundred migrant workers under the age of 25 between 2010 and 2015, the author tries to understand how new media shape the experiences of this significant group of people at different stages of their lives. This study profiles the daily life of this new generation of migrant workers and examines the intricate connections between media and the reconstruction of migrant workers' identity, as well as their urban life adaptation and social inclusion. Not only is their interaction with new media a key factor in decisions to migrate to the city in the first place, but it continues to play a crucial role in how their outlook on life, sense of identity, lifestyle, personal relationships, and aspirations change as they navigate their new environment. These findings reveal the impact of new media on China's accelerating urbanization and modernization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Contemporary China Studies, and those who are interested in the urbanization of China in general.
