Описание: Between the early 1950s and the accelerated demolition and construction of Beijings “old city” in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, the residents of Dashalar—one of the capital citys poorest neighborhoods and only a stones throw from Tian’anmen Square—lived in dilapidated conditions without sanitation. Few had stable employment. Today, most of Dashalars 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 Dashalars older denizens as key to understanding Beijings recent history, Evans complicates official narratives of Chinas economic success while raising crucial questions about the place of the subaltern in history.
