Sommario/riassunto

Focuses on the experiences of rural-urban migrants, the particular ways in which they talk about those experiences, and how those experiences affect their sense of identity. Through first-hand accounts of actual migrant workers, the author provides insights into how rural women respond to migration and life in the city; and more.
