Abstract:
The Introduction articulates the goals of the present volume, namely, to broaden the scope of the historical narrative pertaining to the history of the Shanghai Jews and investigate the interaction of Jews with Chinese, Japanese, and non-Jewish Westerners. All the contributors to the volume provide new insights on the general theme of “interaction and exchange.” Under this general theme, four sub-themes appear: (1) Placing the History of the Shanghai Jews within Various Historical Contexts; (2) Cultural Life of Refugees in Shanghai; (3) The Jews Sojourning in Shanghai after the War; and (4) Commemoration of the History of the Shanghai Jews. After providing a summary the main findings within each sub-theme, the Introduction offers reflections on how the new pathways of research presented in the volume enhance our understanding of the history of the Shanghai Jews.
