Download or read book Shanghai Gone written by Qin Shao and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the best accounts of the reality of gentrification and urban development in China . . . grounded with solid historical, ethnographic and legal evidence” (Urban Studies). In recent decades, the centuries-old city of Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity. With its world famous skyscrapers, it now ranks with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. In Shanghai Gone, Qin Shao applies the concept of domicide—the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers—to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns that made way for the new Shanghai. Shao gives voice to the holdouts and protesters who resisted domicide and demanded justice. She follows, among others, a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has become an amateur lawyer for evictees; and a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon. Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the corrupt and rapacious pursuit of growth and profit, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

Book excerpt: Bloodied clothing and an unexplained injury. A night lost to an alcohol-fueled blackout. The discovery of a grisly murder. A powerful politician’s son awakens to find his hand injured, his girlfriend missing, and his memory a blank. When Dylan Quinn, a young naval aviator and the son of the U.S. Senate majority leader, awakens with a hangover to find his hand injured, his clothes bloodied, and his memory of the previous evening all but wiped out by an alcohol-related blackout, he turns to Honolulu private investigator T. J. O’Sullivan for help. Quinn tells T. J. all he can recall are fragmentary memories of a heated argument with his girlfriend. And he’s learned she failed to return home the night before. Because of the unidentified blood found on his clothes, an unexplained injury, and his missing girlfriend, Quinn fears the evening they spent together may have ended violently. While T. J. helps her client reconstruct the past 24-hours of his life, the Honolulu police discover the body of Quinn’s girlfriend, dead of multiple stab wounds, floating in the Honolulu marina. After the police arrest her client for murder, unconvinced he’s guilty, T. J. opts to run her own parallel investigation of the murder. The investigation, though, puts her at odds with the head of the HPD criminal investigation division. What she uncovers is a complicated tale that’s been decades in the making, a story full of twists, turns, and explosive revelations. T. J. races against time to find the truth behind the killing before her client goes on trial for murder, producing a scandal that could bring down the most powerful man in the senate. She must contend with secretive enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment to step forward and strike. The knives are out, and O’Sullivan must dodge them all to get to the truth about who killed her client’s girlfriend and why. Did Quinn stab his girlfriend to death during an argument? Or is he the victim of a conspiracy as cunning as it is complex? And how does it all connect to his father, the most powerful politician in the U.S. Senate?
