"Shaping Modern Shanghai provides a new understanding of colonialism in China through
a fresh examination of Shanghai's International Settlement. This was the site of key
developments of the Republican period: economic growth, rising Chinese nationalism
and Sino-Japanese conflict. Managed by the Shanghai Municipal Council (1854-1943),
the International Settlement was beyond the control of the Chinese and foreign imperial
governments. Jackson defines Shanghai's unique, hybrid form of colonial urban governance
as transnational colonialism. The Council was both colonial in its structures and
subject to colonial influence, especially from the British empire, yet autonomous
in its activities and transnational in its personnel. This is the first in-depth study
of how this unique body functioned on the local, national and international stages,
revealing the Council's impact on the daily lives of the city's residents and its
contribution to the conflicts of the period, with implications for the fields of modern
Chinese and colonial history"
