So began a decade spent moving between the garment mills and electronics factories of China's fast-growing southern cities. Adrift in the South is a first-hand account of a life spent dodging corrupt officials and abusive employers, working long hours in brutal conditions and sleeping in overcrowded dormitories. Xiao Hai gives voice to a generation of migrant workers searching for survival, meaning and dignity in a country undergoing dramatic economic and political transformation. A landmark work from China's migrant worker literature movement, this memoir offers a rare perspective on the human cost of the country's economic rise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta Magazine Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49249034797283,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781738536269","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
