More about the book
The book explores the evolution of Asianism as a significant political concept in the early 20th century, particularly between China and Japan. It details how perceptions of 'Asia' transformed from negative and peripheral to self-affirming and central, becoming a political principle that engaged with nationalism, internationalism, and imperialism. By the mid-1920s, diverse interpretations of Asianism emerged, influencing both Japanese imperial ambitions and the Sino-centric views adopted by Chinese leaders, shaping the political landscape of the region.
