Inconvenient Generation

Drawing on ten years of ethnographic data collected from multi-sited field research, Ling's book traces the journeys of dozens of second-generation migrants from middle school to the labor market in Shanghai and reveals the ongoing process of inclusion and exclusion that shapes the politics of citizenship in urban China.

Bazandu-se pe zece ani de date etnografice colectate din cercetari de teren pe mai multe locuri, cartea lui Ling urmareste calatoriile a zeci de migranti din a doua generatie de la scoala medie la piata muncii din Shanghai si dezvaluie procesul in curs de incluziune si excludere care modeleaza politica cetatenie in China urbana.
