Through personal letters, eyewitness narratives, and historical analysis, \u003ci\u003eChronicling Westerners \u003c\/i\u003ejoins expatriats’ ordinary expression of day-to-day concerns with vivid accounts of their extraordinary activities and experiences in nineteenth-century maritime East Asia to demonstrate how the spread of capitalism, imperialism, and nationalism both fostered opportunity and wrought violence and death.
