Andrew Field delves deep into the long-ago world of taxi dancers and cabarets, nightclubs and ballrooms that blossomed in 1920s and 30s Shanghai, and looks at how, and why, Shanghai society adopted this westernized entertainment to suit themselves in an era when Chinese national identity was being forged.
