Cosmopolitan Publics focuses on China's "cosmopolitans," Western-educated intellectuals who returned to Shanghai in the late 1920s to publish in English and who, ultimately, became both cultural translators and citizens of the wider world. Shuang Shen highlights their work in publications such as The China Critic and T'ien Hsia, providing readers with a broader understanding of the role and function of cultural mixing, translation, and multilingualism in China's cultural modernity.

SHUANG SHEN has been a faculty member of the City University of New York and Rutgers University, and currently teaches at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. She has published in both English- and Chinese-language journals and newspapers.
