Shanghai's population increased tenfold between 1842 and 1945. The city's sojourners included foreigners, but were mostly Chinese immigrants from the countryside. They came in waves, attracted to the light industry and commerce, as well as the new form of cosmopolitanism, that were developing in the city. This volume describes the sojourners and how they formed their identities in the leading metropolis of the lower Yangzi valley.
