Silencing Shanghai examines the paradoxical and counterintuitive contrast between Shanghai's emergence as a global city and marginalization of the Shanghai dialect. The endangerment of the vernacular exposes how state-sponsored social exclusion silences a significant voice of the people and shakes the linguistic foundation of the local identity.
