AbstractThe ethos of the British in Shanghai in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, like that of their compatriots in Africa and India, valued certain sports as markers of middle-class status, a critical prop of empire. The influential Jardine Company, for example, coerced employees to join game bird shoots. After new cold storage technology enabled the London-based International Export Company (IEC) to harvest Shanghai area pheasants and other birds for the British market, the contention between the IEC and sportsmen, who mounted bird-preservation movements, revealed deep contradictions in the imperialist code.
