Reviews

Bracken is passionate about Shanghai, and one cannot fail to be drawn into the compelling world that he invites the reader into, taking in such things as Shanghai's history (Chapter 2), filmic and literary renderings of Shanghai, which portray life in alleyway houses (Chapter 6), and the 'benign panopticon' (p. 110) aspect of social life (Chapter 5) therein ... Shanghai Alleyway House makes an important contribution by not only providing an architectural terminology with which to describe various forms of living space, but also by locating this architectural form within a broader social, historical and cultural context. In view of this, I feel the book will make valuable reading for students and scholars alike, acting as a stimulant for further research. Alex Cockain, China Information, (March 2014)
