James H. Carter. Creating a Chinese Harbin: Nationalism in an International City, 1916–1932. Ithaca: Cornell University Press. 2002. Pp. xiv, 217. $39.95.

This book focuses on the attempt by Chinese nationalists to "forge a Chinese identity for this multiethnic city" (p. 3). James H. Carter starts with the Russian Revolution, which ended Russian administration of the city, and continues through the Manchurian Incident in 1931, which signaled the resumption of foreign control, this time by Japan. The book is intended to be "a case study in the development of modern nationalism" (p. 5), with lessons applicable elsewhere. In a nutshell, Carter argues that "Chinese nationalism in Harbin grew out of simultaneous opposition to and cooperation with the large foreign presence" (p. 3), but, in the end, "conflicting versions of nationalism undermined the nationalist movement" (p. 9).
