Transcending Boundaries: Zhejiangcun: The Story of a Migrant Village in Beijing
ISBN: 9789004142015 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book sheds new light on state-society relations in contemporary China by demonstrating how rigid official boundaries internal to the state system, which were essential for the state's control over society, have paradoxically facilitated the growth of new social spaces. Based on long years of fieldwork, the book takes us to a highly unlikely site in Beijing - Zhejiangcun (literally 'Zhejiang village'), the biggest migrant community in China, located only five kilometres south of Tian'anmen Square -- where 100,000 migrants, mostly from Wenzhou, have organised a vibrant garment...

Return: Nationalizing Transnational Mobility in Asia
ISBN: 9780822355311 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the late 1990s, Asian nations have increasingly encouraged, facilitated, or demanded the return of emigrants. In this interdisciplinary collection, distinguished scholars from countries around the world explore the changing relations between nation-states and transnational mobility. Taking into account illegally trafficked migrants, deportees, temporary laborers on short-term contracts, and highly skilled emigres, the contributors argue that the figure of the returnee energizes and redefines nationalism in an era of increasingly fluid and indeterminate national sovereignty. They...
