Foreword

Nothing has ever shouted ‘treaty port’ more loudly than Shanghai’s iconic
Bund. And no country ever tried as hard to end the system of ‘unequal’
treaties that created these ports as did China. Yet, as this truly interdisci-
plinary volume demonstrates, treaty ports were neither only Chinese nor
confined to Shanghai. Indeed, my first visit to a former treaty port was not
to Shanghai or anywhere else in China, but to Yokohama, as a very young
boy, decades ago on an American passenger ship en route from San
Francisco to Hong Kong. It was the first time I had ever seen snow—only
a light, white dusting, but enough to remind me I was truly in a foreign
land. The souvenir I purchased was a handmade figurine of a Japanese
child, dressed in what then would have been called ‘traditional costume’.
J.E. Hoare’s chapter in this book reminded me that these ‘sites of mem-
ory’ have different meanings in Japan than they do in China, partly because
of the two nations’ different encounters with the West (and with each
other), not to mention their respective post–treaty port histories. Similarly,
I was struck while reading Yuanxie Shi and Laurel Kendall’s chapter on
treaty port souvenirs from Ningbo how probably no Japanese child at the
time I visited Yokohama would have owned such a figurine as the one I
bought, crafted to reflect a timeless Japan to satisfy a demand for curiosities
by foreign tourists. And yet, as Simon James Bytheway’s chapter on
Japanese woodblock prints and printed ephemera argues, producing images
of the Japanese ‘at home’ was a key part of the nation’s modernisation.
As Donna Brunero and Stephanie Villalta Puig explain in their intro-
duction, moving ‘beyond the Bund’ provides a more nuanced u ­ nderstanding
of the cross-cultural (and indeed intracultural) encounters and exchanges

v
vi FOREWORD

in these cities and towns. The nine chapters in this volume do so in four
main, interrelated ways: geographically and physically, mentally and emo-
tionally, medically and materially. Linking all these is, of course, the uneven
power relationships that defined the treaty ports, regardless of when and
where, though even those relationships were more complex than previous
scholarship has often suggested.
Expatriate families on the China coast, Brunero argues in her own
chapter, helped to create a feeling of stability and permanence through a
wide repertoire of sites and activities, from ‘treasured places’ such as clubs
and holiday homes to what we might call ‘treasured practices’ such as
maintaining a garden or huddling round a gramophone or piano.
(Incidentally, my family’s piano in 1970s Hong Kong was also from the
Robinson’s Piano Co. mentioned in Brunero’s chapter, engraved promi-
nently with the declaration ‘manufactured for the tropics’.) And as Robert
Nield’s chapter shows, expatriates in the ‘lesser’ treaty ports situated liter-
ally ‘beyond the Bund’ often tried to maintain their Britishness by recreat-
ing the life they had in Shanghai or in the other more developed ports.
Life in these ‘outports’ could be isolated and lonely, though writing and
receiving letters helped close the distance.
As much as treaty port residents might try to shape their own domestic
worlds, they could not change environmental geography. Stephanie
Villalta Puig’s chapter on medical geography in China shows how the
British experience there was a physical one. The medicine practised by the
Imperial Maritime Customs Service aimed to protect its staff and their
families in these sometimes hostile climes. Chester Proshan’s contribution
on cholera in Yokohama helps us to understand the relationships among
empire, deadly disease, and the local ‘matrix of ordinary life’ in nineteenth
century Japan, even though attempts by Japanese and international
migrants to fight cholera never led to any changes in this matrix.
Treaty ports were from the outset about land and territory, and the
right to live and trade there. However, as Yu Chen’s chapter on Sino-­
Anglo land transactions in Xiamen (Amoy) shows, there was never one
single ‘rent-in-perpetuity’ system that applied to all Chinese treaty ports.
The most notorious feature of treaty ports was extraterritoriality: at least
in China, this rankled nationalists more than anything. But Gonzalo
Villalta Puig’s chapter on the Malay murder trials reminds us that extrater-
ritoriality also brought the rule of law and could benefit not only Britons,
Chinese and Japanese in the treaty ports but also colonial subjects from
other parts of the British Empire.
FOREWORD

Perhaps most important of all, the chapters in this book remind us that
although treaty ports were about law, diplomacy and power, they were
also about living beings, both ordinary and otherwise: those who created
them, those who lived in them and made them work on a daily basis, and
those who eventually helped end them. And, as we see in Timothy Amos’s
chapter on horses and hostlers in Yokohama’s foreign settlement, these
living beings were not all human. For even horses mattered—practically,
materially and symbolically—in life ‘beyond the Bund.’

Preface

This volume was conceived by two scholars of treaty port China, two
scholars who originally lived elsewhere but whose careers led them to find
themselves in Asia. Every other contributor is similarly also either based in
Asia or spent significant parts of their lives there. It is not surprising, per-
haps, to find that we shared a fascination for understanding the everyday
life of foreigners in East Asia in a much earlier time. From the collective
lived experiences that have come to inform each chapter, this book is a
work of historical scholarship informed by the modern day and even mun-
dane experiences of the routines of life: the weather, the family, health,
ideals and fears of place, cultural considerations, material collections, sta-
bility of administration and regulations, memory, then nostalgia.
These routines are an endless source of fascination for people wanting
to read more about the histories of globalisation, of expatriate life and the
experience of being a resident in a place where the local and the foreign
were bound together in the interests of trade, colonialism, adventure and
travel. While this volume does not intend to take us chronologically to the
present day, it does venture to explore some of these ideas in the historical
context of the treaty port world.
This volume has its genesis in the Asian Studies Association in Asia
Conference held at the National University of Singapore in 2014 within a
panel dedicated to the treaty ports of China and Japan. While an initial
concern was that our panel might be overly ambitious by combining both
Chinese and Japanese treaty ports into a metageography, our discussions
realised how the interplay of similar themes, concerns and potential inter-
connections were much more productive than the traditional approach of

ix
x PREFACE

restricting the discussion to a solely Chinese or a Japanese focus. Lingnan


University in Hong Kong provided the perfect setting at its 2011 and
2015 conferences Empire State of Mind: Articulations of British Culture in
the Empire, 1707–1997 and Among Empires: The British Empire in Global
Imperial Context Conferences, respectively, for similarly minded scholars to
materialise these discussions into contributions. And it is with this view
that we promote further comparisons, dialogues and scholarship in order
to present the treaty ports as a more common East Asian phenomenon
than the literature has previously acknowledged.

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Donna Brunero and Stephanie Villalta Puig

What was everyday life like for foreigners in the treaty ports of China and
Japan? The residents of the treaty ports—local and foreign, in the trading
concessions of China and Japan—experienced vastly different realities in
similar material conditions. How can we understand the routines and feel-
ings of the residents whose material life was conditioned by extraterritorial
regulations and life within the liminal worlds of the treaty ports? The care-
ful study of everyday life is often overshadowed by the special status given
to treaty ports as sites of power and contestation and symbols of moder-
nity in scholarship and as the subject of nostalgia in popular culture. This
volume moves ‘beyond the Bund’ and presents a more intimate view of
the treaty ports as they were experienced by foreign communities.

The Treaty Ports: An Overview


The treaty ports of China and Japan are the remnants of a bygone era, of
what some scholars could argue as evidence of the ‘Great Divergence’ that
took place where Asia was ‘left behind’ by Europe and was then forcibly

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
