内容简介
······
The first half of the twentieth century was fraught with global tensions and political machinations. However, for all the destruction in that period, these geopolitical conditions in Manchuria cultivated an extraordinary variety of architecture and urban planning, which has completely escaped international attention until now. With over forty carefully chosen images, Ultra-Modernism: Architecture and Modernity in Manchuria is the first book in English that illustrates Manchuria's encounter with modernity through its built environment. Edward Denison and Guangyu Ren take readers through Russia's early territorial claims, Japan's construction of the South Manchuria Railway (SMR), and the establishment of Manchukuo in 1932. The book examines in detail the creation of modern cities along the SMR and focuses on three of the most important urban centers in Manchuria: the Russian-dominated city of Harbin, the port of Dalian, and the new capital of Manchukuo, Hsinking (Changchun).

很详细的一本小书，描述了东北城市在现代史中被遗忘的四重原因：中国人的百年国耻，日本人的侵略证明，俄国人的红白分化，冷战带来的格局改变。Alternative Modernity是本书最有趣的观点
『Manchukuo’s fleeting tryst with modernity was swiftly overtaken by history and plunged into obscurity—too humiliating for China, too shameful for Japan, too dishonourable for Russia and too remote fo…
