Description
New Frontiers: Imperialism's New Communities in East Asia, 1842-1953 This groundbreaking study examines the complex relationships between European, American and Japanese communities in China and Korea from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Challenging traditional notions of agency and collaboration, it explores the roles of colonial subjects from diverse backgrounds, including British and Japanese colonists, Chinese Christians, White Russian refugees, and individuals from Taiwan and India. By shedding new light on the history of imperialism in East Asia, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, anthropology, and contemporary Asian affairs. It offers a fresh perspective on the formation of communities and boundaries between indigenous and foreign populations in the region during this period.
