Colonialism in China was a piecemeal agglomeration that achieved
its greatest extent in the first half of the twentieth century, the
last edifices falling at the close of the century. The diversity of
these colonial arrangements across China's landscape defies
systematic characterization. This 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. Bringing
together an international team of experts, Twentieth Century
Colonialism and China is an essential resource for students and
scholars of modern Chinese history and colonialism and imperialism.
