This major new study uses vivid accounts of encounters between
Chinese and Japanese people living at the margins of empire to
elucidate Sino-Japanese relations in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. Each chapter explores mobility in East Asia
through the histories of often ignored categories of people,
including trafficked children, peddlers, 'abducted' women and a
female pirate. These stories reveal the shared experiences of the
border populations of Japan and China and show how they
fundamentally shaped the territorial boundaries that defined
Japan's imperial world and continue to inform present-day views of
China. From Meiji-era treaty ports to the Taiwan Strait, South
China, and French Indochina, the movements of people in marginal
locations not only destabilized the state's policing of
geographical borders and social boundaries, but also stimulated
fantasies of furthering imperial power.
