Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 1995.

This is a project on identity formation and economic change, studying the growing numbers of young Chinese women entering the overseas owned factories in Guangdong in the era of China's "second revolution"--the post-Mao economic reform. It attempts to explore their experiences of working away from home, their newfound independence, their response to the changing order in which they live and work, and, in particular, their response to the forces of socialism and capitalism which negotiate the formation of their identities in the spheres of work and consumption.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This is a project on identity formation and economic change, studying the growing numbers of young Chinese women entering the overseas owned factories in Guangdong in the era of China's "second revolution"--the post-Mao economic reform. It attempts to explore their experiences of working away from home, their newfound independence, their response to the changing order in which they live and work, and, in particular, their response to the forces of socialism and capitalism which negotiate the formation of their identities in the spheres of work and consumption.
520 $a In post-communist culture, this process of forging identities has unique ramifications for the young women caught between ideological worlds. This study establishes a relatively weak connection of the young women to their families. More importantly, their identity (values and behavior) is shaped by socialism, capitalism and consumerism. Transient women workers adapt quickly to increased commodified consumption and the consumer lifestyle, typical of capitalist societies, to their own use. Consumption and leisure are a new realm of freedom that enables them to experience a new lifestyle that is deeply entrenched in capitalist culture. On the other hand, they maintain old socialist ways of thinking about "work", "worker", and "factory". Class stratification and occupational designation from the socialist legacy still have an important impact on the formation of occupational identity. In the process of research and analysis, I have clarified many of the assumptions about dagong women, illustrating the unique forces shaping their experiences and their futures.
520 $a The finding of a split relationship between conventional socialist work attitudes and very modern and quickly changing attitudes towards leisure and commodities in this study has important implications for modernization theories that see affinities between capitalist attitudes towards work and towards leisure.
520 $a Much of the following discussion relies upon data generated through the interviews of 135 dagong women and managers in some twelve factories in Guangdong from 1991 through 1994. To supplement this personal research, recent secondary materials will also be cited.
