The 'Global' and the 'Local' in Early Modern and Modern East Asia

258 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The "Global" and the "Local" in Early Modern and Modern East Asia presents a unique set of historical perspectives by scholars from two important universities in the East Asian region--The University of Tokyo (Tōdai) and Fudan University, along with East Asian Studies scholars from Princeton University. Two of the essays address the international leanings in the histories of their respective departments in Todai and Fudan. The rest of the essays showcase how such thinking about the global and local histories have borne fruit, as the scholars of the three institutions contributed essays, arguing about the philosophies, methodologies, and/or perspectives of global history and how it relates to local stories. Authors include Benjamin Elman, Haneda Masashi, and Ge Zhaoguang.
