Rural Women in Urban China Gender, Migration, And Social Change

This is a fascinating study of the experiences of women who, at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries, left their homes in rural China to seek work in urban centers. Rural Women in Urban China makes a major contribution to our understanding of the relationship between gender and social change and of the ways in which globalization and modernity are experienced at the most personal level. It provides valuable insights into how rural women negotiate rural/urban differences and inequalities, how they experience migration and life in the city, and how that experience shapes their sense of identity, world view, values, and relations with others.Jacka, Tamara is the author of 'Rural Women in Urban China Gender, Migration, And Social Change' with ISBN 9780765608215 and ISBN 0765608219.
