SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"By studying six different aspects of culture in Canton in the period between the two World Wars, this book helps broaden our limited knowledge of the social and cultural lives of the common people in the largest city of South China. The author examines how the Cantonese in this period indulged in their imagined cultural superiority as 'modern' citizens, ushering in a cult of the modern city."--Jacket.
