Synopsis "Searching for Sweetness: Women's Mobile Lives in China and Lesotho"

Traversing from the rapidly urbanising county-level city of Fuqing to the remote mountainous kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa, Searching for Sweetness is one of the first and most extensive ethnographies linking rural-to-urban migration in China with Chinese migration to Africa. Against the backdrop of China's national struggle for modernity and globalisation, Sarah Hanisch examines Chinese migrant women's complex and ever-shifting struggles for upward social mobility across different generations and localities in China and Lesotho. Embedding the women's individual portraits into larger historical contexts, Hanisch illustrates how these women interpret and narrate their migratory and everyday experiences through and beyond powerful state metanarratives on 'sweetness' and 'bitterness'. In her exploration of migratory identities and projects that have been overlooked by previous studies, Hanisch brings uniquely gendered, multi-sited, and intergenerational perspectives to existing scholarship on Chinese internal and international migration.
