‘Offers a vivid compelling portrait of a Jewish community recasting its identity as it reshapes the landscape of Shanghai-China’s largest city. The Baghdadi Jews who came to China in the early 19th Century are the stuff of legend: the names of Sassoon, Kadoorie and Hardoon were emblazoned over the business and social life of East Asia for over a century.’
