Rezensionen

"It will be best appreciated by readers with a solid background on China who will better understand the nuance and terminology used throughout the book (for instance Marxist references to mass-line work). ... this book offers a new perspective on power relations between migrants and their governing authorities, with emphasis on the latter." (Denise Hare, China Information, Vol. 34 (1), 2020)
"The book Manufacturing Towns in China weaves together various actors, policies and regulations, governance technologies, adaptations and resistances and develops an insightful and well-elaborated argument on the 'invisible filter' of the territorial governance in China. ... Readers are guided through a journey of different events in the past as well as in the present, in the West as well as in the East and amongsocialists as well as capitalists." (June Wang, Eurasian Geography and Economics, July 16, 2019)
