本研究基於大躍進時期上海市鄉土教材，將其視為中共建國後的意識形態與建設計畫的實踐，關注中共如何透過課程與教材設計對上海龐大的棚戶區（shanty town）進行形象重塑以反映中共建國後上海與全國的建設。中華人民共和國的鄉土教材源自1957年毛澤東的課程改革宣示，迄今未曾中斷，大躍進中鄉土教材也在當時生產與教育結合運動中得以實際操演。上海棚戶區的形成與上海的歷史脈絡有密切關係，上海除了是現代中國長期的工商業中心與全國最大都市外，由於行政管理長期分裂，建成區內工商業與居民分布相當複雜，棚戶區便是上海長期無法妥善處理的非正式聚落，雖然給了上海解放後政治運動良好的土壤與勞工來源，卻也使上海未能如大慶般成為社會主義城市的典型──個由工人和工業為主，街道與產業經過規劃的城市──因此解放後上海的城市規畫便不斷要求給予其居民穩定的就業與住宅。 本文將利用社會調查與城市規畫材料作為教材外的輔助，先描述1949年前後棚戶區的情況與市政府的實際政策作為，接者論述上海教育當局如何在教育過程中將棚戶區的改建、新建工人住宅、林蔭大道等建設與新社會下的人民形象連結。最後，本研究將指出，在教科書中一系列規劃藍圖與建設的描寫中，上海褪去了原先商業都市複雜的社經結構，勤奮的工人走出位於資本主義邊陲的棚戶區，並在中共的號召下將其建設為一個個井然的小區和工人住宅──透過在教育中再現實存的地景，給予其讀者凝視城市在社會主義下的新生。

Constructing the city of labor: the representation of shanty towns in the native-place textbooks during the Great-Leap-Forward movement (1958-1961)Shanty towns in Shanghai was a historical heritage since treaty ports appeared in China. Modern industry and commerce system turned Shanghai into the largest city in east Asia, but western settlements split the governance of city. Low-income labors and shanty towns spread around western settlements. After the liberation of Shanghai, the renovation and restructuration of these unofficial labor settlements became the practice of CCP's ideology and urban policies. In 1958, the first edition of native-place textbooks was published by the country-wide instruction from central government, but the curriculum and teaching materials were designed by local government. These materials provide us an opportunity to observe the implementation and propagation on urban plan of local government during the Great-Leap-Forward movement. Unlike other teaching materials, native-place textbooks represented a familiar image of students' hometown, the transformation in Shanghai after liberation and the vision after the Great-Leap-Forward movement are the main ideas in teaching materials. The renovation of shanty towns from shanties to boulevards also symbolized the communist government not only reconstructed the street blocks, but also reshape the society structure. The discourse in teaching materials connected the "awaken" of labor form the awful living situation to brand-new workers' residential zones. The blueprints in textbooks weaved Shanghai from a metropolis of imperialism and capitalism into a well-planned socialist city. Stories about the renovation of shanty towns in native-place textbooks became the first chapter of this new narrative. Through learning these materials and join other activities during the Great-Leap-Forward movement, students gazed the transformation of landscape -- shanty towns and other objects in city represented the new birth under socialist rule.
