- This 111.5k words monograph, based originally on doctoral research, is the product of an extended and complex piece of research undertaken over 9 years in 20 different archives in the UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Burma. Primary sources in five languages range from official reports to newspapers, school magazines, and oral histories. It investigates the theme of cosmopolitanism by exploring experiments in cross-cultural interaction and modernity in five different spheres within the Asian port-city: the urban built environment, civic associations, print media, education, popular culture and changing gender relations.
