Australians in Shanghai (eBook, ePUB)

Race, Rights and Nation in Treaty Port China

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book follows the life trajectories of Chinese Australians who, disillusioned by Australian racism under the White Australia Policy, arrived to participate in Chinese nation building and ended up creating business empires which survive to this day. This provides a means by which we can address one of the pervading tensions of race, empire and nation in the twentieth century: the relationship between working-class aspirations for social mobility and the exclusionary and discriminatory practices of white settler societies.
