Description
8vo, hardcover in dj, exlibrary stamps ow very good. Each year, 200 million workers from China?s vast rural interior travel between cities and provinces in search of employment: the largest human migration in history. This indispensable army of labour accounts for half of China?s GDP, but is an unorganized workforce?scattered sand?, in Chinese parlance?and the most marginalized and impoverished group of workers in the country.
