To a degree uncommon in among Chinese cities, Republican Shanghai
had no center. Its territory was divided among three (sometimes
more) municipal governments integrated into various national states
and empires. No government building or religious institution gave
Shanghai a "center." Yet amidst deep cleavages, the city functioned
as a coherent whole. What held Shanghai together? The authors'
answer is that a group of middlemen with myriad connections across
political and social boundaries created networks that held
Republican Shanghai together.
