英文摘要	The feminization of care migration in transnational contexts has received a great deal of attention. Scholars, however, have been slow to investigate a similar trend in intranational contexts. This article expands existing research on global care chains by examining the gendered emotional labor of migrant domestic workers pertaining to China's intranational care chains. While the former often foregrounds "racial or ethnic discounting," the latter is characterized by "citizenly discounting" whereby migrant domestic workers are subject to an overarching system of alienation, subordination, and exploitation owning to their second-class rural hukou (household registration) status. Drawing on a participant-observation study of nannies, this article highlights how the intersection of gender and rural-urban citizenship is the key to grasping China's migrant domestic workers' experiences of extensive alienation at the nexus of work, family, and wider society. By delving into a particular set of political, economic, and cultural forces in the Chinese context, the article makes a distinctive contribution to a more nuanced and context-sensitive understanding of the interface of gender, emotional labor, and care migration.
