Leslie T. Chang Biography

Industrial Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China, written by Leslie T. Chang, follows the lives of Chunming and Min, two young women who work in Dongguan, a factory city in South China. Chunming and Min are among the estimated 10 million young migrants (about 70% of them are women) who labor in China's growing industries, leaving their hometowns far behind in search of jobs. These migrants exist in the present moment, constructing distinct and atypical lifestyles in the midst of manufacturing's frenetic pace. Chang discovers the grim reality of China's phenomenal industrial boom as she comes to know these two ladies and others, as well as her family's own history of migration from mainland China. Chang worked as a Wall Street Journal journalist in China for ten years. She presently resides in Egypt. This year, I must have read at least fifty books about China, yet this one sticks out as one of the finest.
