Now available again, this pioneering work examines one of the most
controversial periods in Chinese history: the relationship between
the Chinese civil and military authorities and the British trading
community in Guangdong province on the eve of the Taiping
Rebellion, one the most calamitous events in Chinese history.
Wakeman shows how prevailing rural discontent, urban riots, secret
society activity, and the imbalance of class and clan affected the
mechanisms of regional power and gentry control, demonstrating the
progression of rebellion and the historical inevitability of
revolution.
