Description

Explore a new perspective on the development of Hong Kong through this academic study from Routledge. While many historical accounts suggest that Western merchant houses dominated the colonial economy by using Chinese middlemen as mere agents, this book challenges that traditional view. It provides a detailed look at the compradors and their vital economic and social functions during the period of colonial rule. This work offers a comprehensive overview of the compradors from 1830 to 1890. It reveals that these influential figures existed even before the start of British rule in 1842. By examining their actual roles, the text presents a different understanding of how the regional economy functioned. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the modern history of Asia and the complex social structures that shaped Hong Kong's early commercial landscape.
