Continuity and change in the everyday lives of Chinese migrant factory workers / Siu, Kaxton   Article
Siu, Kaxton Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract How have Chinese migrant workers’ patterns of everyday life changed over the past two decades, and what has not changed? Have their personal and career aspirations shifted over time? What changes have occurred in how they maintain social relationships within and across factories? What are the implications for migrant workers, local governance and factory managements? Based on workers’ letters and ethnographic research in Shenzhen, this article argues that migrant workers encounter very different circumstances today in their housing, food, time scheduling, aspirations and ways of maintaining social relationships. yet young migrant workers still invoke social relationships steeped in links to family and village to cope with daily difficulties. I examine the workers’ greater control over their time, local governments’ growing need to accommodate migrant workers’ requirements in order to maintain social stability, and the increasing pressure on factory managements to consider workers’ work/leisure arrangements, especially during peak industrial seasons.

Queering migrant integration in contemporary China: a multi-dimensional analysis of Chinese migrant young gay men’s urban integration / Luo, Muyuan   Journal Article
Luo, Muyuan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article addresses the sexual gap in Chinese migration studies with a multi-dimensional analysis of Chinese migrant young gay men’s urban integration. Based on life history interviews, conducted in Shenzhen, a migrant metropolis in South China, this research examines how this migrant-friendly city offers these migrant young gay men possibilities and at the same time, limits their urban integration by taking economic, social relation and identity issues into account. The author concludes this article with a discussion on sexuality’s constitutive role in shaping the complicated dynamics of Chinese migrant young gay men’s urban integration.
