British Rule in China
Written using official records and other sources, British Rule in China is the first systematic account of the legal history of Weihaiwei, a small territory leased by China to Britain in 1898. It is a fascinating and accessible account of the territory's constitution, laws, courts, judges and magistrates, penal policy, and police force. The book explores the various problems and controversies faced by the local authorities in administering justice as well as their attempts to resolve them. This is the first work to examine thoroughly, through research into the law, the history of Weihaiwei under British rule. Whilst looking also at the legal status of Weihaiwei, its laws and institutions, this work also pays attention to particular aspects of the legal system which had the greatest impact on the lives of the ordinary villagers in this part of China. Based on extensive research of primary sources, British Rule in China is a fascinating and readable account of a legal system and the response of the territory's Chinese residents to it. Series Editors: Anthony Dicks and Michael Palmer

British Mandarins and Chinese Reformers
Drawing on previously untapped British and Chinese documents, this is a comparative study of British and Chinese administrative methods in the small rural district of Weihaiwei in the northeast Shantung Province. The British leased the territory from the Chinese in 1898 with the intention of maintaining traditional forms of government whenever possible. But in 1930, the Chinese officials of Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist government stepped in to administer the area. Ignoring the province's governmental heritage, instituting an inappropriate bureaucratic structure, and imposing continuous tax demands, they ultimately lost the faith and respect of the local people. A foreword by Dr. N. J. Miners compares and contrasts Weihaiwei's rendition to China in 1930 with the forthcoming return to Hong Kong to China in 1997.

More Than Fashion
Embroidered insoles in Weihai, a city in Northeast China, exhibit traits of three aspects: fashionable dress, art and craft. However, though intersecting these three aspects, embroidered insoles hold no rightful position in the hegemonic western taxonomy. I argue that the reasons why embroidered insoles are indefinable lie in the facts that western theories on the fashion-art-craft relationship cannot be perfectly applied to the Chinese context and that the Chinese taxonomy has shifted, as well. I argue that in imperial China--when it comes to embroidery work--fashion, art, craft and folk art were merely different applications of embroidery--embroidery on garments led fashion, embroidery on ...
