Chinese Working-Class Lives: Getting by in Taiwan (The Anthropology of Contemporary Issues)

From the back cover: "Taiwan's working class has been shaped by Chinese tradition, by colonialism, and by rapid industrialization. This book defines that class, explores its history, and presents with sensitive honesty the life experiences of some of its women and men. Written in clear, accessible prose, this account will be profitable reading for social anthropologists, China/Taiwan specialists, and oral historians, as well as students and scholars of women's studies.
