The diversity of these colonial arrangements across China's landscape defies systematic characterization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates the complexities and subtleties of colonialism in China during the first half of the twentieth century. In particular, the contributors examine the interaction between localities and forces of globalization that shaped the particular colonial experiences characterizing much of China's experience at this time. In the process it is clear that an emphasis on interaction, synergy and hybridity can add much to an understanding of colonialism in Twentieth Century China based on the simple binaries of colonizer and colonized, of aggressor and victim, and of a one-way transfer of knowledge and social understanding. To provide some kind of order to the analysis, the chapters in this volume deal in separate sections with colonial institutions of hybridity, colonialism in specific settings, the social biopolitics of colonialism, colonial governance, and Chinese networks in colonial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together an international team of experts, \u003cem\u003eTwentieth Century Colonialism and China\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential resource for students and scholars of modern Chinese history and colonialism and imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryna Goodman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415687985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415687980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Bryna Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112752001279,"sku":"9780415687980","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_751bdf65-4269-478d-a567-0d3eb0a8723f.jpg?v=1769610698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twentieth-century-colonialism-and-china-bryna-goodman-9780415687980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
