Chiang Yee in the Modern British History Journal

Posted: March 28th, 2025 | No Comments »

A nice review for Chiang Yee and His Circle: Chinese Artistic and Intellectual Life in Britain, 1930–1950 (Hong Kong University Press)….

While Chiang Yee may not be a household name for Modern British History readers, this multidisciplinary collection expands both our knowledge of cultural encounters between China and the West, as well as the diasporic experiences of Chinese intellectuals in early twentieth-century England. It will also be of interest to historians of Chinese art and literature, of Second World War at home, as well as of race and ethnic minorities in modern Britain.
