Textul de pe ultima copertă

"James L. Hevia takes the notion of imperial discipline and pedagogy beyond metaphor to precise illustration and explanation. With the help of a wonderfully selected set of prints and the mastery of an unusual set of archives, " English Lessons" manages to make of the familiar story of British imperialism in China something new and startling."--Marilyn B. Young, Professor of History, New York University
