Over the last two decades, China's extraordinary rate of economic growth has been driven by the 120-150 million people who have flocked into China's cities from the surrounding countryside in search of a better life. This book examines the manner in which these people live, work, and interact with their urban cousins. A particular feature of the book is its comparative focus, with interesting parallels drawn between China's experience with mass internal migration and labour market restructuring and the experiences of India, Mexico, and France.

Professor Marika Vicziany is Professor of Asian Political Economy, former Director, Monash Asia Institute (MAI) and former Director, National Centre for South Asian Studies at Monash University. She is a specialist on India with 34 years of experience working on Indian economic development/ business, mass poverty, and regional security. Her inter-disciplinary research includes comparisons with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and China at the city, town and village levels. Professor Vicziany has extensive networks with key government, academic and media organisations in India.
