About this product

Product Information

Winner of the 2014 Bonnie Ritter Book Award Winner of the 2013 James W. Carey Media Research Award As unprecedented waves of young, rural women journey to cities in China, not only to work, but also to see the world and gain some autonomy, they regularly face significant institutional obstacles as well as deep-seated anti-rural prejudices. Based on immersive fieldwork, Cara Wallis provides an intimate portrait of the social, cultural, and economic implications of mobile communication for a group of young women engaged in unskilled service work in Beijing, where they live and work for indefinite periods of time. While simultaneously situating her work within the fields of feminist studies, technology studies, and communication theory, Wallis explores the way in which the cell phone has been integrated into the transforming social structures and practices of contemporary China, and the ways in which mobile technology enables rural young women-a population that has been traditionally marginalized and deemed as backward and other -to participate in and create culture, allowing them to perform a modern, rural-urban identity. In this theoretically rich and empirically grounded analysis, Wallis provides original insight into the co-construction of technology and subjectivity as well as the multiple forces that shape contemporary China.

Item arrived within the specified time frame, a little longer than the yodel 3-5 days that they insisted it was shipped with. I got 1 message from the seller and then they ignored every other message I sent. I will give it to them, the book arrived in perfect condition, but they lied about the courier they used which meant it went untraceable until I figured out which courier it was. Save your self some stress, search Amazon logistics tracking if your tracking number starts with SM
