Publisher Comments:

"Right now, anything that happens in China's economy affects all of us. Pun Ngai's book should be required reading. It is jam-packed with richly drawn and provocative insights mined from her fieldwork as a 'factory girl' in the midst of South China's migrant workers."-- Andrew Ross, author of "Low Pay, High Profile: The Global Push for Fair Labor" ""Made in China" is a passionate, engaged ethnography. Pun Ngai provides us with a searing critique of how global capital, with the collusion of the Chinese state, is turning China into the sweatshop of the world. Her ethnography is a moving and angry description of the lives of young migrant women, who are the guts of this process. Through Pun's ethnographic eye, these women come alive as active subjects who confront the pain and trauma of the social violence inflicted on them in a complex poetics of transgression."--Lisa Rofel, author of "Other Modernities: Gendered Yearnings in China after Socialism"
