This edited volume moves beyond the traditional examination of the
treaty ports of China and Japan as places of cultural interaction.
It moves 'beyond the Bund', presenting instead the history of
material culture, the everyday life of the residents of the treaty
ports beyond the symbology of Shanghai's waterfront. Bringing for
the first time together scholars of China and Japan, museum
curators, legal, economic and architectural historians, it studies
the treaty ports not only as sites of cultural exchange, but also
as sites of social contestation, accommodation and mobility,
covering topics as varied as day to day life itself, such as
family, property and law, health and welfare, travel, visual
culture and memory. The call of this volume is to peel the multiple
layers of the encounter between East and West in the treaty ports
of China and Japan.
