Contesting Citizenship in Urban China: Peasant Migrants, the State, and the Logic of the Market"An outstanding work. Solinger's comprehensive treatment is likely to gain immediate attention from political scientists, sociologists, economics, and anthropologists working on China—as well as from students of migration and informal labor markets in other societies."—Elizabeth Perry, author of Shanghai on Strike "In this extraordinary book, Solinger documents that the coming of markets cannot easily convert outsiders into citizens. Years of fieldwork in several of China's cities have produced an enormously rich and detailed account."—Saskia Sassen, author of Globalization and Its Discontents |
