Book Description
Excerpt from Echoes From Japan Of distant lands in their worst aspects. Your residence Of nine years in Japan gives you a very fair insight into the feeling and thought Of the people, and throughout your papers I distinctly perceive your true sympathy with my own Country. I Observe almost every day in London that, although there is SO much talk about Japan and Japanese art, yet most people, I Should say, even educated people, have only some inadequate, and Often many mistaken ideas Of Japan. This is just what most Japanese feel much dis appointed to find. Therefore, I am very glad to find such descriptions and comments as you have given about Japan in these papers, because they are true and honest. We Japanese have no desire to have our merits exaggerated as a nation very Old in her history, and now trying very hard to effect a complete regeneration to become one Of the respectable modern states. But we are, at the same time, very anxious to dispel those unfairly hostile, and even monstrous, criticisms which frequently appear in books Of travel. If you are going to publish these papers, which I have had the pleasure of reading all through, I sincerely hope that they may find a good many readers and I am very happy to supply you with some statistical facts about my country, taken from the latest returns.

Echoes of Empire
Author: Kalypso Nicolaïdis
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857738968
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
How does our colonial past echo through today's global politics? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution? This groundbreaking book presents a panoramic view of attitudes to empires past and present, seen not only through the hard politics of international power structures but also through the nuances of memory, historiography and national and minority cultural identities. Bringing together leading historians, poitical scientists and international relations scholars from across the globe, Echoes of Empire emphasizes Europe's colonial legacy whilst also highlighting the importance of non-European power centres- Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, Japanese- in shaping world politics, then and now. Echoes of Empire bridges the divide between disciplines to trace the global routes travelled by objects, ideas and people and forms a radically different notion of the term 'empire' itself. This will be an essential companion to courses on international relations and imperial history as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western hegemony, North-South relations, global power shifts and the longue duree.
