Gender, Modernity and Male Migrant Workers in China (eBook, PDF)

Becoming a 'Modern' Man

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Examining Chinese male migrant workers' identity formation, this book explores their experience of rural-urban migration and their status as an emerging sector of a dislocated urban working class. It seeks to understand issues of gender and class through the rural migrant men's narratives within the context of China's modernization, and provides an in-depth analysis of how these men make sense of their new lives in the rapidly modernizing, post-Mao China with its emphasis on progress and development.
