Women Migrants in China : Bargaining against Patriarchy Hardback
by Nana (University of Warwick, UK) Zhang
Part of the ASAA Women in Asia Series series
Hardback
Description
This book looks at the urban migration of rural women in contemporary China.
Based on substantial ethnographic research with rural migrant women and returnees in both sending villages and receiving cities, the book explores the dynamics and vicissitudes of rural women's work and domesticity, their negotiation of gender relations and identities, their bargains with patriarchy and their transformations in the gendered migration process.
It goes on to look at how patriarchy and global capital work hand in hand in exploiting women at work and domestic space, and how women's bargaining and resistances against such exploitations.
