Macau

In this evocative essay on the cultural and social history of Macau, Porter (history, U. of New Mexico) examines the city's place in the geographical context of the South China Coast; its architecture; the variety of people who crossed the threshold of Macau; the material culture of everyday life; and the spiritual topography resulting from the encounters of popular religious movements in Macau.
