The authors of this 2004 volume consult Chinese and Western
archival materials to examine the Chinese War of Resistance against
the Japanese in the Shanghai area. They argue that the war in China
was a nationalistic endeavour carried out without an effective
national leadership. Wartime Chinese activities in Shanghai drew
upon social networks rather than ideological positions and these
activities cut across lines of military and political divisions.
Instead of the stark contrast between heroic resistance and
shameful collaboration, wartime experience in the city is more
aptly summed up in terms of bloody struggles between those
committed to normalcy in everyday life and those determined to
bring about its disruption through terrorist violence and economic
control. The volume offers an evaluation of the strategic
significance of the Shanghai economy in the Pacific War. It also
draws attention to the feminisation of urban public discourse
against the backdrop of intensified violence. The essays capture
the last moments of European settlements in Shanghai under Japanese
occupation.
