Abstract: With urbanization and the ongoing migration of people from rural regions to urban areas, marketplaces have become increasingly erse and complex. Rural migrants face numerous challenges in a complex marketplace, and they are likely to become vulnerable consumers. By using ethnographic methods, this study examines Chinese rural migrants, the so-called “urban villagers.” We find that structural barriers, including government policies and rules imposed by institutions, restrict rural migrants’ acquisition of financial products in urban marketplaces. As a result, they often turn to their social networks and traditional resources. Their reliance on social ties, however, limits their acculturation and adaptation into the urban environment. We conclude with public policy suggestions that aim to improve rural migrants’ opportunities for consumption and well-being.

Abstract: This ethnographic study of Feng Shui discourses and practices in Hong Kong examines consumer hope embedded within a specific sociocultural context, supplanting the current understanding of hope as purely an in idual psychic phenomenon. The study investigates hope as a collective emotion, informed by key Chinese cultural resources drawn from Taoist and Confucian principles in both its pursuit and desired outcomes. As consumers incorporate hope within their lives and aspirational selves, they act within culturally prescribed pathways of prevailing social and moral rules. The research demonstrates the importance of culturally pervasive discourses in developing an overall sense of hope, one created, interpreted, and sustained within social networks. In the process, we also pay attention to the idea that in hope something still has to happen or become.

Abstract: Immigration, culture, and ethnicity (IC& E) research has a lengthy history in consumer research, though most research focuses narrowly on identity (and related topics) and has been done at the in idual level of analysis. First, the authors discuss the need for research focused on assessing well-being at the collective level and highlight the important role of social networks and communities in improving consumer well-being and creating effective policy interventions. Next, they explore the utility of the emerging intersectionality conceptual framework for research on well-being and IC& E. They offer specific suggestions for designing policy-oriented research using this approach and illustrate the process by taking a well-regarded IC& E study and reimagining its design using a process-centered approach to intersectionality.
