Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China by Leslie T. Chang

4.0

  • really interesting look into the lives of migrant worker women in china and the chinese factory labour & economic boom in the 90's and 2000's. incredible to hear about their experiences from the mouths of the girls themselves via interviews
  • note that here, "migrant worker" refers to chinese ppl moving from rural towns and villages to the city for work; actually this phenomenon is one of the largest noted human migrations in history
  •  since it was published in 2008, it's already long out of date with today's china, where things change and march forward at light speed
  • sometimes the author's own political convictions were irritating LOL
