Macao, the former Portuguese colony in southeast China, has a long
and very interesting history of cultural interaction between China
and the West. Held by the Portuguese from the 1550s until its
return to China in 1999, Macao was up to the emergence of Hong Kong
in the later nineteenth century the principal point of entry into
China for all Westerners - Dutch, British and others, as well as
Portuguese. The relatively relaxed nature of Portuguese colonial
rule, intermarriage, the mixing of Chinese and Western cultures,
and the fact that Macao served as a safe haven for many Chinese
reformers at odds with the Chinese authorities, including Sun
Yat-sen, all combined to make Macao a very different and special
place. This book explores how Macao was formed over the centuries.
It puts forward substantial new research findings and new thinking,
and covers a wide range of issues. It is a companion volume to
Macao - Cultural Interaction and Literary Representations.
