This is the second volume of a two-volume social history of nineteenth-century Hankow, a city of over one million inhabitants and the commercial hub of central China. In the first volume, Hankow: Commerce and Society in a Chinese City, 1796-1889 (1984), the author emphasized the dynamism of late imperial commerce, the relation of the metropolis to its hinterland, and the corporate institutions of the city, notably its guilds, which assumed a number of functions we normally attribute to a municipal government. In this volume, the focus is on the people of Hankow, in all their ethnic diversity, occupational variety, and constant mobility, and on the social bonds that enabled this mass of people to live and work in a crowded city with much less disruptive social conflict than occurred in Hankow's counterparts in early modern Europe.
Built into the argument of the book is a running comparison nineteenth-century Hankow with such cities as London and Paris in the somewhat earlier period when they, too, were experiencing the growing pains of nascent preindustrial capitalism. How are we to account for the fact that the cities of early modern Europe were so much more prone to protest and social upheaval than Hankow was in a comparable stage of development? The author finds the answer in the cultural hegemony of an activist elite that fostered moral consensus, social harmony, and an aura of solicitude for the well-being of residents at every social level, exemplified in such service institutions as poor relief, firefighting, and public security.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, however, the social bonds that had held Hankow together were beginning to fragment, as social polarization and growing class-consciousness fostered an atmosphere of increasing unrest.
William T. Rowe is Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University.
中译本的《汉口》原只出了上卷。二卷也很精彩:诸如,地契、地权纠纷、城市空间格局的历史演化、地方自治的团体、庙会、帮派的研究,都在这本书里。研究汉口的重要参考文献。尤其对城市规划的学生。这本书现在已经有中译本了。

评分A Habermas story (how merchant-elites became more and more involved in the institutionalization of city order) and a Simmel Story (conflicts can be both integrative and destructive). The book ends beautifully at the 1883 crisis, which makes Hankow not only an unique case before 1911, but also an indicative prelude to structural changes after 1911.

评分可能有人不同意他的结论,但是这个研究还是相当扎实的。读完真是觉得可惜,何必非扯进哈贝马斯呢,你们的点明明不一样啊。
从外国人的视角对清末汉口的商业经济系统进行了深入、细致的研究,其中有大量极其鲜活的旧时汉口镇景观、风俗的描绘,让我们看到了一个不同于今日的国际大商都。尤其是那些熟悉当今汉口的人如果读到这本书,可能都会对它那段绚烂多姿的岁月赞叹不已。
