- Title
Harbin in comparative perspective.
- Authors
GAMSA, MARK
- Abstract
This article argues that historians have largely neglected the dimension of Chinese-Russian interaction, which was central to the development of Harbin from the emergence of this city in 1898 as an outpost of imperial Russia in Manchuria (north-east China). It goes on to propose a new approach to Harbin history, which, integrating its 'Russian' and 'Chinese' histories during the period prior to the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in 1932, would also place it in a wider comparative context. This comparative approach is illustrated in the article by a consideration of the issue of ethnically segregated living quarters.
