  Presents an investigation of internal rural migration in post-Mao China focused on the day-to-day production and consumption of popular media. This book explores a number of paradoxes that the domestic worker lives out on a daily basis: her ubiquitous invisibility, her enduring transience, and her status as an intimate stranger.
