This is particularly challenging for rice farmers, because paddy fields have to be cultivated continuously to retain their soil quality and value. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and written sources, this book describes farming households' strategic solutions to this predicament. It shows how, in light of rural-urban migration and agro-technological change, they manage to sustain both migration and farming. It innovatively conceives rural households as part of a larger farming community of practice that spans both staying and migrating household members and their material world. Focusing on one exemplary resource - paddy fields - it argues that socio-technical resources are key factors in understanding migration flows and migrant-home relations. Overall, this book provides rare insights into the rural side of migration and farmers' knowledge and agency. 410 0$aNew Mobilities in Asia 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration$2bisacsh 610 $aChina, rural-urban migration, knowledge and skill, rice farming, migrant-left-behind nexus. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration. 676 $a307.240951 700 $aKaufmann$b Lena, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0916872 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910444453603321 996 $aRural-Urban Migration and Agro-Technological Change in Post-Reform China$92055486 997 $aUNINA
