It critically examines the fading years of the missionary movement, beginning with the perspective of Betty Gale and other mishkid nurses whose childhood socialization in China, decision to return during wartime, choice to stay in occupied regions against consular advice, and response to four years of internment reflect the resilience, fragility, and eventual demise of the China missions as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eChina Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e provides insight into the many ways in which health care efforts in wartime China extended out of the tight-knit missionary community that had been established there decades earlier. Urging readers past a thesis of missions as a tool of imperialism, it offers a more nuanced way of thinking about the relationships among people, institutions, and nations during one of the most important intercultural experiments in Canada's history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eChina Interrupted: Japanese Internment and the Reshaping of a Canadian Missionary Community\u003c\/i\u003e, by Sonia Grypma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword  \u003ci\u003eMargaret (Gale) Wightman\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword  \u003ci\u003eGeertje Boschma\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: China Interrupted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e Developing a Mishkid Elite (1910-1934)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/b\u003e ``Call to Live Dangerously'' (1935-1938)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e The \"\"New\"\" Missionaries (1939-1940)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e Heeding and Ignoring Consular Advice (1941)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/b\u003e Practising the Fine Art of House Arrest (1942)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e Adjusting to Columbia Country Club and Yangzhou Camp B (1943)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/b\u003e ``The End of the World has Come'': Pudong Camp (1943-1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e Internment and the Reshaping of a Canadian Missionary Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppendices\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA\u003c\/b\u003e Canadian Missionary Nurses in China, April 1941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u003c\/b\u003e All Canadian Nurses Interned in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863425712471,"sku":"9781554586271","price":73.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781554586271.jpg?v=1759920570","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/china-interrupted-japanese-internment-and-the-reshaping-of-a-canadian-missionary-community-9781554586271","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
