This is a worthy addition to the seemingly endless outpouring of new monographs on modern Shanghai. Its subject is the development of class consciousness among the city's proletariat in the early twentieth century. Its author, S. A. Smith, brings to the topic a unique perspective. He was originally a labor historian of Russia and the author of Red Petrograd: Revolution in the Factories, 1917–18 (1983).

Principal sources for this study include contemporary Chinese newspapers and labor journals, documentary collections, as well as British diplomatic dispatches and the Shanghai Municipal Police files. . . .
