informative
slow-paced

academic investigation into how language policy is shaping the status of the Shanghainese dialect. was a good follow-up to Last Boat out of Shanghai (Helen Zia) where i have the historical development and growth of Shanghai then a leap forward into more modern day.
the Chinese language class I took this semester was also a China-based curriculum and through the class, I learned about some of these policies and the ways that the Chinese government views things which bolstered my understanding of the context.
