Table of ContentsChapter 1: A Cosmopolitan Past Chapter 2: “China Dream” vs the Shanghai Dialect Chapter 3: Geographical Displacement and Language Loss Chapter 4: Social Integration and “New Shanghairen” as Euphemism Chapter 5: Forever Waidiren or Honorary Shanghairen?ReviewsSilencing Shanghai is a lucid and poignant account of the precipitous decline of the distinctive Shanghai dialect, or language, that once thoroughly permeated life in this city. This unique ethnography treats this urban dialect as a lens on the struggle to maintain a distinct urban identity and culture in the face of neoliberal globalization and state-led nation-building. The book examines both insiders -- the Shanghairen -- and newcomers -- the new migrants from other parts of China -- as they try to maintain or establish their positions in this ever-changing global city. -- James Farrer, Professor of Sociology at Sophia University in Tokyo and author of <i>Opening Up: Youth Sex Culture</i> and <i>Market Reform in Shanghai and International Migrants in China's Global City: The New Shanghailanders</i> Author InformationFang Xu is lecturer in the Interdisciplinary Studies Field program at University of California, Berkeley.
