In this powerful and timely book, Wanning Sun focuses on the country's hundreds of millions of rural migrant workers, who embody China's most intractable problems of inequality. Drawing on rich and extensive fieldwork, the author argues that despite the critical role their labor has played in enabling and sustaining the country's remarkable economic growth, workers and peasants have become the nation's 'subalterns.' Sun focuses especially on the role of media and culture in negotiating the unequal relationships that exist between various social groups. She shows that in the face of the harsh reality of injustice and discrimination, China's rural migrants engage in media and cultural practices that are at once both mundane and profound--invariably imbued with hope and dignity, and motivated by the dream of a better life. Exploring the cultural politics of inequality in post-Mao China, this engaging and compelling book will be essential reading for all concerned with the increasing centrality of media and the cultural politics of representation in our highly digitalized and mediated world"--Provided by publisher | |

In this powerful and timely book, Wanning Sun focuses on the country's hundreds of millions of rural migrant workers, who embody China's most intractable problems of inequality. Drawing on rich and extensive fieldwork, the author argues that despite the critical role their labor has played in enabling and sustaining the country's remarkable economic growth, workers and peasants have become the nation's 'subalterns.' Sun focuses especially on the role of media and culture in negotiating the unequal relationships that exist between various social groups. She shows that in the face of the harsh reality of injustice and discrimination, China's rural migrants engage in media and cultural practices that are at once both mundane and profound--invariably imbued with hope and dignity, and motivated by the dream of a better life. Exploring the cultural politics of inequality in post-Mao China, this engaging and compelling book will be essential reading for all concerned with the increasing centrality of media and the cultural politics of representation in our highly digitalized and mediated world"--Provided by publisher Since 2000 fast BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations bisacsh Agricultural laborers / Social conditions fast Economic history fast Marginality, Social fast Mass media / Political aspects fast Mass media / Social aspects fast Migrant labor fast Peasants / Social conditions fast Social classes fast Social conditions fast Agricultural laborers China Social conditions Peasants China Social conditions Migrant labor China Marginality, Social China Social classes China Mass media Social aspects China Mass media Political aspects China Soziale Ungleichheit (DE-588)4055736-4 gnd rswk-swf Kulturanthropologie (DE-588)4133903-4 gnd rswk-swf Unterprivilegierter (DE-588)4187060-8 gnd rswk-swf Migration (DE-588)4120730-0 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Klasse (DE-588)4077571-9 gnd rswk-swf Landarbeiter (DE-588)4034217-7 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Migration (DE-588)4120730-0 s Landarbeiter (DE-588)4034217-7 s Kulturanthropologie (DE-588)4133903-4 s Soziale Ungleichheit (DE-588)4055736-4 s Soziale Klasse (DE-588)4077571-9 s Unterprivilegierter (DE-588)4187060-8 s Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Sun, Wanning, 1963- Subaltern China 9781442236776 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
| spellingShingle | Sun, Wanning 1963- Subaltern China rural migrants, media, and cultural practices "Behind China's growing economic and political power is a vast underworld of marginalized social groups. In this powerful and timely book, Wanning Sun focuses on the country's hundreds of millions of rural migrant workers, who embody China's most intractable problems of inequality. Drawing on rich and extensive fieldwork, the author argues that despite the critical role their labor has played in enabling and sustaining the country's remarkable economic growth, workers and peasants have become the nation's 'subalterns.' Sun focuses especially on the role of media and culture in negotiating the unequal relationships that exist between various social groups. She shows that in the face of the harsh reality of injustice and discrimination, China's rural migrants engage in media and cultural practices that are at once both mundane and profound--invariably imbued with hope and dignity, and motivated by the dream of a better life.
