MoreLong description:
Liu explores the experiences of Yi migrant workers in Shenzhen, China, investigating how their cultural heritage influences their search for identity and a sense of belonging. This book uncovers the intricate relationship between heritage and homemaking, examining how Yi migrants engage in their cultural practices within various settings such as families, workplaces, restaurants, tourist sites, and social media platforms.
Through thorough fieldwork and interviews, the book demonstrates how ethnic heritage acts as a means for migrants to establish a feeling of connection during their migration journeys. Nevertheless, challenges and tensions emerge in the realm of home, illustrating the dynamic interplay between heritage and the construction of a sense of place. It also enriches our comprehension of the link between cultural heritage and the experiences of migrants, shedding light on the complexities of identity development in a globalised world.
A valuable resource for scholars and researchers in disciplines like anthropology, migration studies, cultural studies, and Chinese studies, as well as professionals and policymakers interested in migrant integration, cultural heritage preservation, and urban development.
