Book Synopsis Wartime Shanghai and the Jewish Refugees from Central Europe by : Irene Eber
Download or read book Wartime Shanghai and the Jewish Refugees from Central Europe written by Irene Eber and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study discusses the history of the Jewish refugees within the Shanghai setting and its relationship to the two established Jewish communities, the Sephardi and Russian Jews. Attention is also focused on the cultural life of the refugees who used both German and Yiddish, and on their attempts to cope under Japanese occupation after the outbreak of the Pacific War. Differences of identity existed between Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, religious and secular, aside from linguistic and cultural differences. The study aims to understand the exile condition of the refugees and their amazing efforts to create a semblance of cultural life in a strange new world.

Book excerpt: "In the 1920s and 1930s no world cause was complete without a visit to Shanghai. Its name alone conjured images of mystery and adventure. Passengers on ships sailing to the Far East were regaled with stories of "The Whore of the Orient" and enthralled by tales of gangsters and warlords, of nightclubs that never closed and hotels that supplied heroin on room service. Shanghai became the epitome of glamour, immortalized in books and films. With its bustling polyglot population of British, Chinese, American, French, and White Russian inhabitants, its extremes of poverty and wealth, it appeared to straddle East and West. By the time the Japanese invasion of 1937 destroyed the illusion, Shanghai had passed into legend. Shanghai in the 1930s was the Berlin of the 1920s: a city where cultures and politics collided; where refugees from the Russian Revolution rubbed shoulders with proper British colonialists and American missionaries; where cabarets, theaters, and prostitution all thrived. Now in 'Shanghai: Collision Point of Cultures 1918/1939", Harriet Sergeant recreates the years of the city's brief but brilliant heyday. Her book is an intriguing combination of firsthand accounts (she tracked down former residents, many now in their eighties and scattered across the world), vigorous research, and imaginative reconstruction. It is a fascinating analysis of the factors that make a city great--and a sobering illustration of the forces that can make a great city fall."--Front and back flaps of book jacket.

Book Synopsis The History of the Shanghai Jews by : Kevin Ostoyich
Download or read book The History of the Shanghai Jews written by Kevin Ostoyich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a historical narrative, historiographical reviews, and scholarly analyses by leading scholars throughout the world on the hitherto understudied topic of Shanghai Jewish refugees. Few among the general public know that during the Second World War, approximately 16,000 to 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis, found unexpected refuge in Shanghai, and established a vibrant community there. Though most of them left Shanghai soon after the conclusion of the war in 1945, years of sojourning among the Chinese and surviving under the Japanese occupation generated unique memories about the Second World War, lasting goodwill between the Chinese and Jews, and contested interpretations of this complex past. The volume makes two major contributions to the studies of Shanghai Jewish refugees. First, it reviews the present state of the historiography on this subject and critically assesses the ways in which the history is being researched and commemorated in China. Second, it compiles scholarship produced by renowned scholars, who aim to rescue the history from isolated perspectives and look into the interaction between Jews, Chinese, and Japanese.

Book Synopsis Revealing/Reveiling Shanghai by : Lisa Bernstein
Download or read book Revealing/Reveiling Shanghai written by Lisa Bernstein and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing/Reveiling Shanghai provides international and interdisciplinary perspectives on representations of Shanghai, a contested location within political discourse and cultural imagination. Shanghai's complex history as a quasi-colonial city, and its contradictory identity as the birthplace of Communist China and the epitome of twenty-first-century capitalism, make it an especially fascinating subject. Contributors examine representations of Shanghai in film, art, literature, memoir, theater, and mass media from the past one hundred years. They address the ways in which texts from the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have rewritten past and present Shanghai to reflect our own wishes and anguishes, show how the city resists static interpretations, and challenge notions of authentic representation and identity. By revealing and questioning persistent stereotypes and constructed versions of East and West, the essays offer diverse views so as to create a genuine exchange with contemporary global audiences. A wide variety of texts are discussed, including the films Street Angel (1937) and The White Countess (2005), and the novels The Song of Everlasting Sorrow (1996) and Shanghai Baby (1999).
