Anglo-China traces the development of colonial rule in early British Hong Kong. Drawing on a variety of hitherto neglected sources, the book also explores how the daily practice of government affected the lives of people in the region - and how they in turn sought to shape colonial rule.
Presents a study of the troubled process of establishing a British colony at Hong Kong. This title focuses on the reception of British rule by people in the region and on the efforts by the colonial government to build prosperity and maintain order during a time of war, scandal, and rampant crime.
