bookbestseller Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM Yuk-sik Chong, "Toilet as Business for the Hygiene of the Chinese Community in Colonial Hong Kong"English | ISBN: 9811913951 | 2022 | 192 pages | EPUB | 14 MBThis book analyses how public toilets were provided by the government and local business in Hong Kong between the 1860s and 1930s through a process that was embedded in class and racial politics. Addressing public toilet provision from a political economy perspective, it focuses on the interplay of the cross-border night soil business between Hong Kong and China's silk producing area; the silk market between China and Colonial powers; the Hong Kong land market between the colonial government and Chinese business; and how these factors jointly produced a network of toilets in the colony. As the book shows, the commercial viability of toilets created multiple logics and a new moral geography; further, exploring the topic can help us gain a better understanding of how urban governance functioned in colonies and how it intertwined with economic contingencies within a global economic system. The intended readership includes academics and members of the general public with an interest in colonialism, public infrastructures, public health, government-business relations, and urban governance.Read more[b]Uploady[/b]https://uploady.io/lemixw7t7za6/xawa4.7zRapidGatorhttps://rg.to/file/069636b828723c0133947a927d73ecd8/xawa4.7z.html[b]UploadCloud[/b]https://www.uploadcloud.pro/348wqdteis3g/xawa4.7z.htmlFikperhttps://fikper.com/WGiLQBzIvl/xawa4.7z.htmlFreeDLhttps://frdl.io/85sm97cvshog/xawa4.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
