Lisa Hellman offers the first study of European everyday life in
Canton and Macao. How foreigners could live, communicate, move
around - even whom they could interaction with - were all things
strictly regulated by the Chinese authorities. The Europeans
sometimes adapted to, and sometimes subverted, these rules.
Focusing on this conditional domesticity shows the importance of
gender relations, especially the construction of masculinity. Using
the Swedish East India Company, a minor European actor in an
expanding Asian empire, as a point of entry highlights the
multiplicity of actors taking part in local negotiations of power.
The European attempts at making a home in China contributes to a
global turn in everyday history, but also to an everyday turn in
global history.
