The writing of history used to concentrate on narrative, analysis
or theory. The historian stayed out of sight. This book is part of
a more recent trend. Here, Susanna Hoe discusses her relationship
to her material, the processes of research and writing, and her
characters. She does so by exploring and sometimes comparing, the
lives of Chinese and western women who have lived in China, Hong
Kong and Macau, and links them not only to herself but also to
contemporary women's issues, human rights and colonialism. "Chinese
Footprints" is about the practice of history. The approach and
style make it both accessible and teachable. The characters include
1930's civil and women rights campaigners Shi Liang, China's
Minister of Justice 1949 to 1959, Agnes Smedley and Stella Benson,
autobiographical writer Xiao Hong, revolutionary Soong Ching Ling,
traveller Ella Maillart, philanthropist Clara Ho Tung, and Clara
Elliot, who was part of the story of Hong Kong's cession to Britain
in 1841.
