Negotiating Urban Space: Urbanization and Late Ming Nanjing - Harvard East Asian Monographs
Si-yen Fei
Urbanization was central to development in late imperial China. Yet scholars agree it triggered neither Weberian urban autonomy nor Habermasian civil society. Using Nanjing as a central case, the author shows that, prompted by this contradiction, the actions and creations of urban residents transformed the city on multiple levels.
