Abstract
This is mostly a study of the adaptation of Chinese migrants in Inner Mongolia. The authors study three different types of communities, those based on agriculture, pastoral, and mixed economies. The two agricultural communities are almost exclusively Chinese and the mixed and pastoral communities have a population of both Mongols and Chinese. The authors focus on the distribution and management of family labor, household income, and family reproduction. They also compare women's work and status, and include some final comments on ethnic relations.
