Beyond Tears and Laughter: Gender, Migration, and the Service Sector in China de Yang Shen

Beyond Tears and Laughter: Gender, Migration, and the Service Sector in China: New Perspectives on Chinese Politics and Society

Autor Yang Shen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 feb 2019
This book explores the experience of China's migrant labourers in Shanghai from anthropological, and gendered analyses, offering extraordinary insights into the life-world of the marginalized people. China has hundreds of millions of internal migrants coming from the countryside to the big cities in search of fame, fortune, or just a living. The author also examines the gender dynamics at work, in intimacy and leisure of this marginalized, yet huge population. With an in-depth and multidisciplinary examination of the experience of restaurant workers in Shanghai, this book sheds humanising new light on the experience of the megacity from the inside and will be of direct value to policymakers, demographers, feminist scholars, anthropologists, sociologists, and responsible citizens.

Recenzii

“The book provides a good example of nuanced fieldwork observations and ethnographic details based on a longitudinal field investigation … . Readers will appreciate the rich details of daily interactions and benefit from the grassroots knowledge about migrant workers in China’s metropolitan service sector. With its in-depth analysis of migrant workers’ life and subjectivity, this is an excellent book for people who are interested in gender, migration, work and China studies more generally.” (Jing Song, The China Quarterly, February 21, 2022)
