Migrant Ecologies
«In Migrant Ecologies, Zhou Xiaojing articulates the hidden intricacies and intimacies of gendered labor, mass migration, ecological devastation, rural decline, and worker resistance in China through her brilliant analysis and translations of Zheng Xioaquion’s poetry. This book makes an invaluable contribution to global ecocriticism, the environmental humanities, and migration studies.»

Migrant Ecologies investigates the ways in which Zheng Xiaoqiong's poetry exposes the entanglements of migrant ecologies embedded within local and global networks of capital and labor. The author contends that women migrant workers in particular, as portrayed in Zheng's poems, are the visible manifestation of the interconnections between the so-called "factories of the world" and slum villages-in-the-city, between urban development and rural decline, and between the local environmental degradation and the global market.
