Kritik
"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)mehr
