About this book
Reviews
—Stephen G. Nichols, James M. Beal Professor Emeritus of French and Humanities, Johns Hopkins University, USA
With The French in Macao in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries, Dr. Jingzhen Xie gives us a sound and vivid picture of a little-known aspect of the multi-cultural exchanges between East and West during colonial times. In her accurate study, she offers a bright new perspective to better understand Macao’s identity, history and culture.
—Jacques Neefs, Professor Emeritus of French Literature and Humanities, University Paris 8, France and Johns Hopkins University, USA
