From the rear cover
"This book does exactly what it promises, revealing the local-level dynamics and the human dimensions of the greatest socioeconomic transformation in history. Through an ethnography of the villages and networks through which urban construction workers are recruited, Chuang provides a rich and theoretically powerful story of how land and labor have been intertwined in the making of China's boom. Weaving together politics, class, gender, and local state institutions, Beneath the China Boom stands as a seminal sociological account of how macro-level forces have to be understood through changing social relations. This is a must-read for all scholars of China, development, and sociology."--Patrick Heller, Lyn Crost Professor of Social Sciences, Brown University "Julia Chuang addresses one of the most important questions of our day--the changing social foundations of Chinese economic expansion, its future development as well as the reasons for its past success. A brilliant, multi-sited ethnography of the shift from migrant labor to land expropriation, whose findings will reverberate around the Global South."--Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley "A rare ethnography that strikes the right balance between micro- and macro-level analysis."--Ho-Fung Hung, Wiesenfeld Professor in Political Economy, Johns Hopkins University
