The Limits of Westernization (eBook, PDF)

American and East Asian Intellectuals Create Modernity, 1860 - 1960

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The goal of this project is to locate the origins and development of modern thought in the United States and East Asia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. While a strong literature on post-war modernization exists, there is a gap in the pre-war origins and development of modern ideas. This book re-evaluates the influence of the United States on East Asia in the twentieth century and gives greater voice to East Asians in the construction of their own ideas of modernity.
