Chun-Shik Kim. Deutscher Kulturimperialismus in China: Deutsches Kolonialschulwesen in Kiaotschou (China) 1898–1914. (Missiongeschichtliches Archiv, volume 8.) Stuttgart: Franz Steiner. 2004. Pp. 272. €45.00.

As Mechthild Leutner and Klaus Mühlhahn reiterate in many of their works, Germany strove from 1898 to 1914 to build up Jiaozhou Bay (Kiaotschou), the 552-square-kilometers German colony situated on the southern coast of the Shandong Peninsula in China, as a Musterkolonie (model colony). The massive transplantation of German technology, social institutions, and a modern administrative system into the home province of Confucius led first to confrontation with Chinese values and traditions but later to a partial integration of German and Chinese cultures. The question of how far Germany succeeded in "modernizing" Chinese society in Jiaozhou Bay and its surrounding area still interests historians, sinologists, and colonial and postcolonial theorists. Social and micro-studies of urbanization, medical facilities, transport, and communication in Jiaozhou Bay in the early twentieth century are gradually bringing to light untold stories of this former German colony. Chun-Shik Kim's book is one of the very few works that investigates the development of education in Jiaozhou Bay under German rule.
