Discourse, Identity, and China's Internal Migration: The Long March to the City. Dong Jie

by Jie Dong and Dong Jie

Migrant workers are crucial to China's fast growing economy, yet little is known about their identities. This ethnographic study of the language use and identity construction of the children of internal migrants is innovative both in the context it studies and the scalar structure of discursive identity construction used to present its data.
