More about the book

The book explores the tension between Shanghai's rise as a global metropolis and the decline of the Shanghai dialect. It highlights how the marginalization of this vernacular reflects state-sponsored social exclusion, ultimately silencing a vital aspect of local identity. Through this examination, it reveals the broader implications for cultural heritage and community voice amidst urban transformation.
