Reseña del editor

An analysis of three generations of women in a Chinese silk factory, this study is a critique of the meaning of modernity in a postmodern age. The text compares the lives of three generations of women workers: those who entered the factory right around the Communist revolution in 1949, those who were youths during the Cultural Revolution of the 1970s and those who have come of age in the Deng era. The author explores attitudes toward work, marriage, society, and culture, and connects the changing meanings of the modern in official discourse to the stories women tell about themselves and what they make of their lives.

Nota de la solapa

"Cogent, evocative, and theoretically rigorous. I know of no one else who has so artfully delineated the complex, heterogeneous effects of political mobilization on the formation of collective and individual subjectivities."—Dorinne Kondo, author of Crafting Selves
