Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In the new world order mapped out by Japanese and Western imperialism in East Asia after the mid-19th century opium wars, communities of merchants and settlers took root in China and Korea. New identities were construced, new modes of collaboration formed and new boundaries between the indigenous and the foreing communities were literally and figuratively established. This work brings together scholars in the history of South and East Asia and uses newly available source materials in a comparative study of Western and Japanese imperilism. The chapters examine European, American and Japanese communities in China and Korea. They challenge received notions of agency and colaboration by looking at the roles of British Indians, Jews, Japanese and colonial subjects, Chinese Christians, and White Russian refugees in Korea and China.
