Biography
Feng Xu is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She is the author of Women Migrant Workers in China’s Economic Reform (2000).
"[Xu’s] well-informed description of the introduction of neo-liberal rationalities conflicting with pre-existing control modes is highly recommended to all who want to know more about governance in China in general, and labor market policies in particular."
