Scythe and the City: A Social History of Death in Shanghai
ISBN: 9780804797467 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The issue of death has loomed large in Chinese cities in the modern era. Throughout the Republican period, Shanghai swallowed up lives by the thousands. Exposed bodies strewn around in public spaces were a threat to social order as well as to public health. In a place where every group had its own beliefs and set of death and funeral practices, how did they adapt to a modern, urbanized environment? How did the interactions of social organizations and state authorities manage these new ways of thinking and acting? Recent historiography has almost completely ignored the ways in which...

In the Shadow of the Rising Sun: Shanghai Under Japanese Occupation
ISBN: 9780521822213 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rejecting conventional demands, this book examines how ordinary men and women, Chinese as well as foreign, endured the Japanese military assault and occupation of Shanghai during the Chinese War of Resistance (1937-1945). Instead of presenting their stories in terms of heroic resistance versus shameful collaboration with the enemy, the volume reveals how the city's dwellers mobilized a variety of social networks to circumvent enemy strictures. They employed strategies that kept alive a culture and an economy that were vital to the survival of the brutalized population.

Prostitution and Sexuality in Shanghai: A Social History, 1849-1949
ISBN: 9780521571654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 486 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shanghai's nightlife, from the mid-nineteenth century until the victory of the Communist Party in 1949, was dominated by the world of prostitution. Henriot portrays the Chinese sex trade, from the sophisticated life of the courtesan, to the common life of street prostitution. He examines the extent to which these worlds were integral to Chinese social life, commercial trends, and Chinese mores and sexuality. He draws a picture of a sector that was sensitive to economic and social change, and thus a good reflection of Shanghai's changing social structure, societal attitudes, and commercial...
