Description:

Staff This course exams the issues of colonialism, post-colonialism, and urbanism in a Chinese context. As Chinese society transformed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, cities were at the forefront of change, becoming symbols of both the promise and the discontents of modernity. At the same time, Chinese cities maintained their roles as centers of economic, political, and religious activity. How did these shifts affect urban life We will consider answers to these questions with reference to hygiene, markets, military bases, crime, imperialism, and labor.
