| Summary: | Between the early 1950s and the accelerated demolition and construction of Beijing's "old city" in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, the residents of Dashalar-one of the capital city's poorest neighborhoods and only a stone's throw from Tian'anmen Square-lived in dilapidated conditions without sanitation. Few had stable employment. Today, most of Dashalar's original inhabitants have been relocated, displaced by gentrification. In Beijing from Below Harriet Evans captures the last gasps of subaltern life in Dashalar. Drawing on oral histories that reveal memories and experiences of several neighborhood families, she reflects on the relationships between individual, family, neighborhood, and the state; poverty and precarity; gender politics and ethical living; and resistance to and accommodation of party-state authority. Evans contends that residents' assertion of belonging to their neighborhood signifies not a nostalgic clinging to the past, but a rejection of their marginalization and a desire for recognition. Foregrounding the experiences of the last of Dashalar's older denizens as key to understanding Beijing's recent history, Evans complicates official narratives of China's economic success while raising crucial questions about the place of the subaltern in history |

Few had stable employment. Today, most of Dashalar's original inhabitants have been relocated, displaced by gentrification. In Beijing from Below Harriet Evans captures the last gasps of subaltern life in Dashalar. Drawing on oral histories that reveal memories and experiences of several neighborhood families, she reflects on the relationships between individual, family, neighborhood, and the state; poverty and precarity; gender politics and ethical living; and resistance to and accommodation of party-state authority. Evans contends that residents' assertion of belonging to their neighborhood signifies not a nostalgic clinging to the past, but a rejection of their marginalization and a desire for recognition. Foregrounding the experiences of the last of Dashalar's older denizens as key to understanding Beijing's recent history, Evans complicates official narratives of China's economic success while raising crucial questions about the place of the subaltern in history Geschichte 1950- gnd rswk-swf SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social bisacsh Economic development China Beijing Marginality, Social China Beijing Neighborhoods China Beijing History 21st century Urban poor China Beijing Social conditions Urbanization China Beijing Sozialgeschichte (DE-588)4055772-8 gnd rswk-swf Randgruppe (DE-588)4048390-3 gnd rswk-swf Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 g Randgruppe (DE-588)4048390-3 s Geschichte 1950- z DE-604 Sozialgeschichte (DE-588)4055772-8 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 9781478006879 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 9781478008156 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781478009184 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
