Description: Intimacy As a Lens on Work and Migration : Experiences of Ethnic Performers in Southwest China, Hardcover by Mao, Jingyu, ISBN 152922585X, ISBN-13 9781529225853, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book explores the experiences of ethnic performers in a small Chinese city, aiming to better understand their work and migration journeys. Their unique position as service workers who have migrated within the same province provides valuable insights into the intersection of social inequalities related to the rural-urban divide, ethnicity and gender in contemporary China. Introducing the concept of 'intimacy as a lens’, the author examines intimate negotiations involving emotions, sense of self and relationships as a way of understanding wider social inequalities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, th reveals the bordering mechanisms encountered by performers in their work as they navigate between rural and urban environments, as well as between ethnic minority and Han identities. Emphasising the intimate and personal nature of these encounters, th argues that they can help inform understanding of broader social issues.
