by Meng Yue (Author)
An investigation into Shanghai's rise from peripheral port to urban center. The author examines such cultural practices as the work of the commercial press, street theater, and literary arts, and shows that what appear to be minor cultural changes often signal the presence of larger political and economic developments.
