Empires on the Waterfront by Catherine L Phipps

Catherine L. Phipps examines a largely unacknowledged system of special trading ports that operated under full Japanese jurisdiction in the shadow of the better-known treaty ports. Phipps demonstrates why the special trading ports were key to Japan's achieving autonomy and regional power during the pivotal second half of the nineteenth century.
Catherine L. Phipps is Associate Professor of History at the University of Memphis.
