- Summary:
-
"Women Migrant Workers in China's Economic Reform introduces the reader to an intriguing micocosm of China's recent economic reform. Written from the perspective of unmarried young women from a stigmatized region of one of China's wealthiest provinces, it shows how China's spectacular growth, centred in the coastal cities, has affected modern workers in silk production, one of the country's oldest and most legendary industries. Equally important, the book's ethnographic work shows how these workers carve out a niche for themselves in these challenging circumstances."--BOOK JACKET.
