In Search of Justice: The 1905-1906 Chinese Anti-American Boycott By Guanhua Wang
2002 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 0674006550 | PDF | 50 MB
How could late Qing China, a country bound largely by parochial ties of family, clan, and native place, produce a nationwide mass movement? Was this popular outburst symptomatic of a domestic nationalist awakening, as historians of modern China claim, or a result of pressure from Chinese overseas suffering under harsh U.S. immigration laws, as students of American history contend? In considering these vying explanations for the boycott of American products, Wang identifies a coalition of interests that came together to shape the movement's strategy, objectives, and outcome. He explores the larger structural and organisational resources available to boycott organisers and participants and the role of this common experience in laying the groundwork for later reform and revolutionary movements.
