Klappentext
An innovative study of colonialism in China, examining Shanghai's International Settlement as the site of key developments in the Republican period.

This major study of Shanghai's International Settlement in the Republican period is essential reading for scholars of modern Chinese history, particularly those interested in urban history, imperialism and nationalism. It will appeal to historians interested in the nature of colonialism in China, and to scholars of transnationalism and global networks.
