To understand China better as a destination for marriage migration, Elena Barabantseva delves into the politics and lived experiences of desire, marriage and race, all within China's pursuit of national rejuvenation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe brings together diverse sources, including immigration policies, migration patterns, TV portrayals, life stories, and digital ethnography, to present an embodied analysis of intimate geopolitics. Barabantseva argues that this particularly gendered and racialised model of international marriage is revealing of China's relations within the global world order, in which white femininity embodies the perceived success of Chinese masculinity and nationhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePost-Soviet Brides in the China Dream\u003c\/em\u003e is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934187897068,"sku":"9781009600170","price":337.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781009600170-post-soviet-brides-in-the-china-dream.jpg?v=1783902829"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/elena-barabantseva.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
