This paper explores why radical mobilizational tactics failed to achieve social and political changes during the 1989 Tiananmen Student Movement. By focusing on historical archives from students, elites, and state institutions, I argued that student radicalization inadvertently strengthens the hard-liner elites, facilitating the eventual repression. However, radical repertoire and actions are political and cultural meaning-making processes that situate between economic modernization and authoritarian consolidation of Chinese society.

Abstract: Despite their significance, popular experience of the Highland Clearances, a series of mass evictions and forced migrations in Gaelic-speaking Scotland from c1750-c1886, remain understudied in both history and archaeology. Using a combination of landscape archaeology and oral testimony this study proposes a new way of understanding the relationship between evicted Gaelic people and the places they lived and worked.
