Description
Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city
walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals
had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months
earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather
than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed
themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family
members. British observers decried an "Asian culture" of ritual suicide.
In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local
and global forces in nineteenth-century China.Xin Zhang's groundbreaking
history examines the intense negotiations between local societies and
global changes that created modern China. In the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, world-historic political, economic, and
technological developments transformed the textures of everyday life in
places like Zhenjiang, a midsize river town in China's prosperous Lower
Yangzi region. Drawing on rare primary sources, including handwritten
diaries and other personal writings, Zhang offers a ground-level view of
globalization in the city.Far from passive recipients, the Chinese
leveraged, resisted, and made change for themselves. The Global in the
Local argues that globalization is inevitably refracted through local
particularities.
