Michael T. W. Tsin is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Columbia University.
Review
"Tsin's book is well organized, refreshingly concise, and... highly readable " - Journal of Asian Studies "In this elegantly written and meticulously researched study, Tsin uses a social history of early twentieth-century Canton to explore the meaning and mechanisms of the political culture of modernity. One of the book's great strengths is Tsin's success in bringing social-historical and theoretical analyses together, using one to illuminate the other." - Journal of Interdisciplinary History --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Review
“For researchers carrying up-to-date toolkits into the Chinese past, Tsin’s judicious analysis will be a model of clarity in exposition as well as a guide to the formation of China modernist discourses on national and social revolution.”—Canadian Journal of History

廣州城市發展的近代史;關於廣東地區的社團、社會,該書頗有心得,並涉及到當時的城市規劃、城市治理、空間改造。
評分廣州的地方史,經過西方現代性、大衛哈維的空間理論與福柯的治理理論的點化,確是有不少啓發性,但也正因囿於理論,又常有削足適履之感,20世紀前三十年的廣州僅用現代/非現代二元論的眼光來分析是否閤適?想起加拿大某晚清曆史著作大用福柯而被痛批的故事來瞭……不過參考文獻的確使我受益匪淺
評分重點看瞭工人的部分。國傢在民國初期試圖發展一個有利於建構國傢閤法性的公民社會,然而“社會“逐漸超齣瞭國傢控製,並且顯現齣內鬥的特徵。對於國傢-“社會“關係提供瞭很好的反思。但是也留下瞭很多問題沒有解決。
評分Sympathize with what the author tried to do here, but ambivalent about the results. For a doctoral dissertation, it's not bad.
