Books by James Farrer

China has now become as migrant destination, and Shanghai is China's most globalized city. This book covers the development of Shanghai's expatriate communities, from their role in the opening up of Shanghai to foreign investment in the early 1980s through tothe explosive growth after China joined the World Trade Organization in 2000.

Drawing on over years of fieldwork and hundreds of interviews, the authors spotlight a largely hidden world of nighttime pleasures - the dancing, drinking, and socializing going on in dance clubs and bars that have flourished in Shanghai over the last century.
