圖書名稱:Reading Colonies-Property and Control of the British Far East

BY 1945, EVERYWHERE ONE LOOKED IN THE FAR EAST THE BRITISH EMPIRE WAS BEING OPENLY QUESTIONED OR WAS FAILING OUTRIGHT. YET IN THE PREVIOUS CENTURY, THE BRITISH HAD BEEN THE PRE-EMINENT IMPERIAL POWER FROM WEIHAIWEI TO NORTH BORNEO.

READING COLONIES: PROPERTY AND CONTROL OF THE BRITISH FAR EAST INVESTIGATES HOW THE BRITISH HELD ON FOR SO LONG. RENT CONTROL LEGISLATION, AND OTHER MEASURES OF PROPERTY LAW SUCH AS LAND IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, ARE NOMINATED AS KEY TOOLS USED TO FRUSTRATE DECOLONIZATION IN MOST EASTERN COLONIES. BRITISH COLONIAL ADMINISTRATIONS TRIED LONG AND HARD TO INHIBIT THE DIALECTICAL DISCORD BETWEEN THEIR COLONIAL HIERARCHISM AND LOCAL FORMS OF NATIONALISM WITH THE PROMPTS AND PLAUDITS OF PROPERTY POLICY. IN CASES WHERE INDIGENOUS LANDLORDISM MASQUERADED AS PATRIOTISM, INDEPENDENCE CAME QUICKLY (CEYLON AND BURMA). WHERE PUBLIC HOUSING ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A KEY POST-WAR PLANK OF SOCIAL POLICY, FREEDOM FROM BRITISH RULE WAS A MORE GRADUAL AFFAIR (BRITISH MALAYA AND HONG KONG).

THIS STUDY CONCLUDES THAT BRITISH COLONIAL REGIMES DID NOT OFFER A SHARE OF THEIR INDUSTRIAL MODERNITY TO STAY AT THE APEX OF POLITICAL POWER, BUT READILY ADJUSTED OLD-STYLE LANDLORDISM TO KEEP NATIONALIST USURPERS AT BAY.

Introduction

By merely identifying class struggle, Marx did not distinguish himself from a hoard of earlier historians. By attaching the existence of classes to particular phases of production throughout history, however, he did something unique: he proposed that the antagonism between the relations of production was what propelled history from one epoch (or historical phase of production) to another. The interaction of thesis and antithesis produced a new form followin...

Foreword

Rohan Price's Reading Colonies-Property and Control of the British Far East is a rich journey through the labyrinthine worlds of the nineteenth and early twentieth-century British Far East, of Chinese exceptionalism, decolonization, the politics of race, and the Eurocentricity of Marxist thinking. These intellectual worlds are not my especial areas of expertise, yet I embarked on this adventure with confidence and enthusiasm, guided by Price's engaging prose, and a unifying theme that ...
