Angelina Chin

Bound to Emancipate

Working Women and Urban Citizenship in Early Twentieth-Century China and Hong Kong

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Emancipation, a defining feature of twentieth-century Chinese society, is explored in detail in this compelling study. Angelina Chin expands and reinterprets the meaning of women's emancipation by examining what this rhetoric meant to lower-class women. Challenging the nation-based framework of history by focusing on two cities, Chin compares colonial Hong Kong with Guangzhou, which allows her to seamlessly integrate colonial studies and China studies.
