Shanghai is Asia??'s largest city and for over a hundred years has
played a critical role both in China??'s internal political arid
economic affairs, and in the history of international relations in
the Far East. Before 1949, Shanghai was the principal point of
western and, later, Japanese penetrations of China. Under foreign
control the city saw the beginnings of modern economic growth, of
new forms of westernized education and culture, and of fierce
social and political conflicts. This book is a comprehensive study
of the way in which old Shanghai was transformed and developed by
the Communist Party between 1949 and the later 1970s. It throws
light on the paradox that a city that for years was the object of
hostility and distrust has become in the Post-Mao era the spearhead
of China??'s new programme for economic and technological
modernization. The book is divided into sections dealing with
political, economic and cultural change, and with the special
characteristics of Shanghai??'s rural suburbia.
