Seller's Description:
Very good. 311, [3] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Appendix (including Postscript by Tess Johnson, Old and New Names in Shanghai and China, and Historical Timeline). The cover has minor wear and soiling. Ink notation on back of rep. Inscribed by the author on the fep. The inscription reads To Susan Perhaps when you read about Old Shanghai where I was born and raised, you may be enticed to visit the new Shanghai and China. Best wishes, Liliane. The authors contact information is loosely attached inside the front cover. With vivid firsthand descriptions of Asia's most cosmopolitan city from the 1920s to the 1950s, this recollection chronicles Liliane Willens' life and trials in Shanghai as China collapsed under the weight of foreign invaders and civil war. Engaging and often humorous, this unique memoir relates Willens' experiences as a Jewish Russian living in early Communist China. Liliane was born of Russian Jewish parentage in the former French Concession of Shanghai, China, where she attended a French lycée. She and her family-all stateless-experienced World War II under the Japanese military occupation, later the Chinese civil war between the Nationalist government and the communists, the arrival of the victorious People's Liberation Army and subsequent establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Because of difficulties to obtain an immigration visa to the United States under a very restrictive quota system, Liliane lived two years under the PRC. All this is discussed in her book Stateless in Shanghai published by China Economic Review Publishing (Hong Kong) Ltd. for Earnshaw Books. After Liliane emigrated to the United States, she studied as an undergraduate at Boston University where she also received a Ph.D. in French Language and Literature. She taught these subjects at Boston College and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While in academia, she published a book on Voltaire and a number of articles on 18th century France. Later moving to Washington, DC, she worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Peace Corps. Since retirement Liliane has given lectures on history and culture. She speaks at various organizations and book clubs on old and new Shanghai and her book Stateless in Shanghai. From a review found on-line: "The author's descriptions of wartime Shanghai vividly convey the fear and paranoia running rampant throughout the city. She remembers being “ill at ease seeing so many Japanese soldiers carrying guns that seemed oversized in comparison to their generally small stature. ” Things don't improve after the Japanese leave. Willens recalls strict curfews and laws put into effect when the PRC was formed. [...] Willens is able to offer a unique, foreign, firsthand perspective on the birth of the PRC." Review by Andrea Scarlatelli in City Weekend (Shanghai), March 26, 2010.
