While migrant workers become the backbone of China’s fast growing
economy, internal migration and its impacts on various aspects of
social life in China have been an increasing concern of both the
Chinese general public and the academics. It is timely, therefore,
that identities of and stances towards migrant workers represented in
China’s media are subject to discourse analysis and sociolinguistic
research. This book examines how identities of and stances towards
migrant workers have been constructed, transformed and mediated in
China’s media discourse, and it investigates the media strategies
and practices constructing these media products. This book provides a
comprehensive study of how the media representation of migrant workers
is interacting with the sociocultural transformation in China. The
findings and discussions of the book offer critical insights into
media discourse and practice in contemporary China which will be of
interest to scholars and research students in discourse studies,
sociolinguistics, media and communication studies, and China studies.
