Colonial anxieties and cosmopolitan desires -- pt. 2. Counterpoint New York -- pt. 3. A mobile Levant.Remembering Cosmopolitan Egypt examines the link between cosmopolitanism in Egypt, from the nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century, and colonialism. While it has been widely noted that such a relationship exists, the nature and impact of this dynamic is often overlooked. Taking a theoretical, literary and historical approach, the author argues that the notion of the cosmopolitan is inseparable from, and indebted to, its foundation in empire.Since the late 1970s a number of artistic works have appeared that represent the diversity of ethnic, national, and relRoutledge studies in Middle Eastern literatures ;21.EgyptCivilizationWestern influencesEgyptFictionCairo (Egypt)FictionAlexandria (Egypt)FictionElectronic books.962/.04Starr Deborah A.1968-959458MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454719203321Remembering cosmopolitan Egypt2174116UNINA03432nam 22006492 450 991078430350332120160419131534.01-107-16350-11-280-75036-71-139-16725-10-511-26943-90-511-26999-40-511-26839-40-511-32055-80-511-26906-4(CKB)1000000000352782(EBL)288452(OCoLC)232330529(SSID)ssj0000121417(PQKBManifestationID)11130271(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000121417(PQKBWorkID)10110823(PQKB)10564275(UkCbUP)CR9781139167253(MiAaPQ)EBC288452(Au-PeEL)EBL288452(CaPaEBR)ebr10159200(CaONFJC)MIL75036(EXLCZ)99100000000035278220141103d2007|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierChina's Republic /Diana Lary[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2007.1 online resource (xv, 225 pages) digital, PDF file(s)New approaches to Asian history ;2Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-60355-2 0-521-84256-5 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Illustrations; Maps; Tables; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1 Decline of empire, dream of a republic: 1890s-1911; 2 The early Republic - chaos and creativity: 1912-28; 3 The Nanjing decade - a new beginning? 1928-37; 4 The Resistance War - warfare and chaos: 1937-45; 5 The Civil War - the most vicious conflict: 1946-9; 6 More than survival - the Republic on Taiwan: 1949 to the present; Conclusion: the end of the Republic?; Index of names; Index of places; Index of subjectsTwenty-first century China is emerging from decades of war and revolution into a new era. Yet the past still haunts the present. The ideals of the Chinese Republic, which was founded almost a century ago after 2000 years of imperial rule, still resonate as modern China edges towards openness and democracy. Diana Lary traces the history of the Republic from its beginnings in 1912, through the Nanjing decade, the warlord era, and the civil war with the Peoples' Liberation Army which ended in defeat in 1949. Thereafter, in an unusual excursion from traditional histories of the period, she considers how the Republic survived on in Taiwan, comparing its ongoing prosperity with the economic and social decline of the Communist mainland in the Mao years. This introductory textbook for students and general readers is enhanced with biographies of key protagonists, Chinese proverbs, love stories, poetry and a feast of illustrations.New approaches to Asian history ;2.ChinaHistoryRepublic, 1912-1949ChinaPolitics and government1912-1949ChinaCivilization1912-1949951.04Lary Diana509508UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784303503321China's Republic3746895UNINA
