Recensione

'Rachel Murphy has produced a rigorous analyses of a major contemporary phenomenon, identifying issues at various levels, but within a fascinating and highly readable account of migrant labour in China. In contrast with many authors in the literature, she balances some of the advantages associated with migrant labour with adverse effects, giving a systemic and balanced view of the impact of migrant labour on rural communities, together with the people concerned and their families. Much in this book could be applied to other developing nations wherein migrant labour is a contemporary trend. This book will be welcomed not only by specialists in labour and population dynamics - in the modern parlance, it is a must read for anyone interested in contemporary developments in China.' Progress in Development Studies

'... this is a timely contribution to the limited body of literature on return migration to rural China. the book serves as an interesting example, both theoretically and methodologically, for advanced students and researchers studying migration in developing countries ... Anecdotes, interviews and visual materials are used to such an extent that the reading is made a pleasure at the general level.' Regional Studies
