The Golden Ghetto takes us into the world of one of this city's most important foreign communities--the Americans--during the decades between the American Revolution of 1776 and the signing of the Sino-US Treaty of Wanghia in 1844. American merchants lived in isolation from Chinese society in sybaritic, albeit usually celibate luxury. Making use of exhaustive research, Downs provides an especially clear explanation of the Canton commercial setting generally and of the role of American merchants. Many of these men made fortunes and returned home to become important figures in the rapidly developing United States. The book devotes particular attention to the biographical details of the principal American traders, the leading American firms, and their operations in Canton and the United States. Opium smuggling receives especial emphasis, as does the important topic of early diplomatic relations between the United States and China. 410 0$aEchoes (Hong Kong, China) 606 $aAmericans$zChina$zGuangzhou$xHistory 606 $aMerchants$zChina$zGuangzhou$xHistory 607 $aGuangzhou (China)$xCommerce$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$zUnited States 615 0$aAmericans$xHistory. 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory. 676 $a337.51/275 700 $aDowns$b Jacques M.$f1926-$01680475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827772103321 996 $aThe golden ghetto$94049202 997 $aUNINA
