Engaging the entire span of Shanghai's modern history from the Opium War to the eve of the Communist takeover in 1949, Wen-hsin Yeh traces the evolution of a dazzling urban culture that became alternately isolated from and intertwined with China's tumultuous history. Looking in particular at Shanghai's leading banks, publishing enterprises, and department stores, she sketches the rise of a new maritime and capitalist economic culture among the city's middle class. Making extensive use of urban tales and visual representations, the book captures urbanite voices as it uncovers the sociocultural dynamics that shaped the people and their politics. 606 $aMerchants$zChina$zShanghai$xHistory 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y1912-1949 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1912-1949 610 $a1940s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aasia. 610 $aasian history. 610 $abanks. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acapitalist. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese history. 610 $acommunism. 610 $acommunist takeover. 610 $acommunist. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $adepartment stores. 610 $aeconomic. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aevolution. 610 $amaritime. 610 $ametropolis. 610 $amiddle class. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodernization. 610 $aopium war. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apublishing. 610 $ashanghai. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $asociocultural. 610 $aurban culture. 610 $aurban. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory. 676 $a330.951/13204 700 $aYeh$b Wen-Hsin$0646292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778402303321 996 $aShanghai splendor$91366873 997 $aUNINA
