Title: New frontiers
Description: "In the new world order mapped out by Japanese and Western imperialism in East Asia after the mid-nineteenth century opium wars, communities of merchants and settlers took root in China and Korea." "New frontiers brings together scholars in the history of South and East Asia and uses newly available source materials in a pioneering and comparative study of Western and Japanese imperialism. The chapters examine European, American and Japanese communities in China and Korea. They challenge received notions of agency and collaboration by also looking at the roles in China of British and Japanese colonial subjects from Korea, Taiwan, and India and at Chinese Christians and White Russian refugees."

"This volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the history and anthropology of imperialism, colonialism's culture, and East Asian history."--Jacket.
