This major new study uses vivid accounts of encounters between Chinese and Japanese
people living at the margins of empire to elucidate Sino-Japanese relations in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each chapter explores mobility in East Asia
through the histories of often ignored categories of people, including trafficked
children, peddlers, "abducted" women and a female pirate. These stories reveal the
shared experiences of the border populations of Japan and China and show how they
fundamentally shaped the territorial boundaries that defined Japan's imperial world
and continue to inform present-day views of China. From Meiji-era treaty ports to
the Taiwan Strait, South China, and French Indochina, the movements of people in marginal
locations not only destabilized the state's policing of geographical borders and social
boundaries, but also stimulated fantasies of furthering imperial power
