Description

This comprehensive monograph examines the literary output of rural-urban migrant workers in the Picun Literature Group based in Beijing. The first English-language study of this kind, the book is divided into two parts: the first traces historical traditions and enduring challenges of working-class cultural production in China, whilst the second focuses on five of the group's most prominent authors. Drawing on literary theory, fieldwork research, and extensive engagement with Chinese-language scholarship, the work explores the formative processes of worker authors, their creative struggles, and the broader social contexts shaping their textual practice. This scholarly resource combines rigorous academic analysis with on-the-ground investigation, offering readers deep insight into how migrant workers navigate cultural expression and authorship within contemporary China.
