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-defined and central, influencing political discourse. The rise of Asianism as a political principle intersected with nationalism, internationalism, and imperialism, leading to diverse interpretations in the transnational dialogue. This shift ultimately allowed for the appropriation of 'Asia' by Japanese imperialism and the adoption of Sino-centric views by Chinese leaders.
