Chinese Sojourners in Wartime Raj, 1942-45

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, British India had been taken as the main logistic base for China's war against the Japanese. Chinese soldiers, government officials, professionals, and merchants flocked into India for training, business opportunities, retreat, and rehabilitation. This book is about how the activities of the Chinese sojourners in wartime India caused great concerns to the British colonial regime and the Chinese Nationalist government alike and how these sojourners responded to the surveillance, discipline, and check imposed by the governments. This book provides a subaltern perspective on the history of modern India-China relations that has been dominated by accounts of elite cultural interaction and geopolitical machination.

"This book, an in-depth study of Nationalist tariff policy, fundamentally challenges the widely accepted idea that the key to the Communist seizure of power in China lay in the incompetence of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government. It argues instead that during the second Sino-Japanese War, China’s international trade, the Nationalist government’s tariff revenues, and hence its fiscal policy and state-making project all collapsed. Because tariffs on China’s international trade produced the single greatest share of central government revenue during the Nanjing decade, the political existence of the Nationalist government depended on tariff revenue. Therefore, Chinese economic natio...

Legal Entanglements

During the division of Germany, law became the object of ideological conflicts and the means by which the two national governments conducted their battle over political legitimacy. Legal Entanglements explores how these dynamics produced competing concepts of statehood and sovereignty, all centered on citizens and their rights. Drawing on wide-ranging archival sources, including recently declassified documents, Sebastian Gehrig traces how politicians, diplomats, judges, lawyers, activists and intellectuals navigated the struggle between legal ideologies under the pressures of the Cold War and decolonization. As he shows, in their response to global debates over international law and human rights, their work kept the legal cultures of both German states entangled until 1989.

Die Tagebücher der Hildegard von Erffa, 1889–1900

Hildegard von Erffas Tagebuch ist eine faszinierende Quelle zum adligen Frauenleben im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert. In Hildegards Leben finden sich viele der Widersprüche der wilhelminischen adligen Gesellschaft: Kaisertreue und Familienstolz, Faszination der Moderne und Angst vor dem Umsturz, Idealisierung des ländlichen Lebens und Attraktion Berlins als Metropole sowie die Stellung adliger Frauen zwischen dem Privileg ihres Rangs und den Beschränkungen ihrer Genderrolle. Das Tagebuch zeigt zunächst die Entwicklung von Hildegards politischem Denken: Bedauert sie als junges Mädchen noch sehr den Rücktritt Bismarcks, wird sie im Lauf der Jahre zur immer begeisterten Unterstützerin des ...
