In an effort to restyle Cairo into a global capital that would meet the demands of tourists and investors and to achieve President Anwar Sadat's goal to modernize the housing conditions of the urban poor, the Egyptian government relocated residents from what was deemed valuable real estate in downtown Cairo to public housing on the outskirts of the city. Based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork among five thousand working-class families in the neighborhood of al-Zawyia al-Hamra, this study explores how these displaced residents have dealt with the stigma of public housing, the loss of their established community networks, and the diversity of the population in the new location. Until now, few anthropologists have delivered detailed case studies on this recent phenomenon. Ghannam fills this gap in scholarship with an illuminating analysis of urban engineering of populations in Cairo. Drawing on theories of practice, the study traces the various tactics and strategies employed by members of the relocated group to appropriate and transform the state's understanding of 'modernity' and hegemonic construction of space. Informed by recent theories of globalization, Ghannam also shows how the growing importance of religious identity is but one of many contradictory ways that global trajectories mold the identities of the relocated residents. "Remaking the Modern" is a revealing ethnography of a working class community's struggle to appropriate modern facilities and confront the alienation and the dislocation brought on by national policies and the quest to globalize Cairo.
这本书是我这学期到现在读过的民族志里面最好看的一本!!有一说一 是我读过最有归属感最让我想家的民族志。里面说封阳台的时候我想到家里因为要不要装玻璃封阳台吵架。里面说在家里养鸡的时候我想到以前家里巨大的酸菜缸。有的时候让我觉得有点过度解读了 但是是一本让我想家又会重新思考现代性这个概念的书。感觉那个时候是不是有什么福柯思潮之类的…discourse/discipline/knowledge and power这些概念一直在出现。
