Building The City elaborates new critical insights into the everyday lives of migrant workers in cities around the world.

The book offers complementary blending of longstanding political-economic accounts of migration, gender, labour, and urban life alongside advances in feminist, postcolonial, post-structural, materialist, and more-than-representational thinking. Drawing on these critical resources the authors explore the complexities of migrant’s everyday past, present, and future lives. More specifically, they interrogate diverse and heterogeneous connections between work, domestic, and family times and spaces as well as foregrounding new theoretical and empirical terrain regarding consumption, pleasure, leisure, fashioned, sexual identities, and digital lives within and beyond cities.

Premised on ethnographic research undertaken in cities across China the authors develop detailed relational comparative dialogue with the most up-to-date international interdisciplinary research.

This critically challenging yet engaging and accessible research monograph provides an excellent resource for scholars at all career stages as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in diverse disciplines including anthropology, cultural studies, economics, management, organisational and business studies, human geography, planning, political science, sociology, and urban studies.
