Paperback, as new condition, uncreased glossy card covers, 8vo - over 6" - 9" tall, 240 pages including notes, bibliography, index----------------"In this evocative essay, Jonathan Porter examines Macau as an enduring but ever-changing threshold between two worlds, the West and China. Founded by the Portuguese in 1557, Macau's geographical uniqueness has made it particularly fascinating, yet the history of Macau's cultural and social history also speaks to larger issues of cross-cultural exchange in world history. The author looks at a series of images of Macau's history and reflects on the character and meaning of the multiple cultural and social influences that met and mingled there. For this, the first paperback edition of the book, Porter has written an epilogue examining the impending reversion of Macau to Chinese rule and offering perspectives on the present and future of the city."
