Abstract
AbstractThis paper reports on a recent research project into rural–urban labour migrants inShanghai,China, who are members of ethnic minorities, inquiring into the role of ethnicity in national labour migration. It introduces some of the main features of the ethnic nationalities (minzu) inChina and considers some of the literature on rural–urban migration inChina which may be considered as relevant to ethnicity. The case of aMiao minority family in Shanghai is described in detail to argue that what remains important to them in the city is not their formal ethnic affiliation (minzu) so much as a sub‐ethnic identity of connectedness and intimacy, importantly related to kinship and place.
