Описание: Scattered Sand arrived in the post today, bought from Verso publishers. I unpacked it, and immediately began to dip in and then read. Reluctantly putting it on the kitchen table when the phone rang. Hsiao-Hung Pai is an investigative journalist and author. I've not yet read her other books, but have read some of her major articles in The Guardian newspaper. ________________________________________ More Links § Link to Hsiao-Hung Pai's own website. It says she also writes for: "Chinese Weekly; UK Chinese Times; Feminist Review (UK); Socialist Review (UK); Open Democracy (UK), Southern Weekend (China) , South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) and Mass Age (Taiwan), among others." And "writes a regular column for Chinese-language newspaper The Storm (Taiwan)." Also that: "her areas of interests are migration and labour; women and feminism; nationalism". § Description and reviews of Scattered Sand on Verso's website. § Link to Hsiao-Hung Pai's book Angry White People. (Published March 2016) § Wikipedia link to Hsiao-Hung Pai . § Hsiao-Hung Pai covered the Morecambe Bay cockle-pickers tragedy for the Guardian. "The lessons of Morecambe Bay have not been learned. Ten years after the cockle pickers' tragedy, we are still focusing on the arrival of migrants, not their rights". Quotation from Hsiao-Hung Pai's article in The Guardian 3 February 2014. § Trailer on YouTube for Nick Broomfield’s film Ghosts (2006). The film was based on Hsiao-Hung Pai's work. § BBC website news item about Nick Broomfield raising money to help the families of the cockle-pickers who drowned. § Hsiao-Hung Pai went undercover in many British workplaces to Investigate the plight of undocumented Chinese migrants. For example: "Invisible: Britain's Migrant Sex Workers" was published by Westbourne Press in April 2013. § Review by James Beresford of Angry White People. § I welcome suggestions for further useful links about this author's work. Please let me know about any broken links.
