In this engaging and informative book, Thomas David DuBois sets out to explain how religion has influenced the political, social, and economic transformation of Asia from the fourteenth century to the present. Crossing a broad terrain from Tokyo to Tibet, the book highlights long-term trends and key moments, such as the expulsion of Catholic missionaries from Japan, or the Taiping Rebellion in China, when religion dramatically transformed the political fate of a nation. Contemporary chapters reflect on the wartime deification of the Japanese emperor, Marxism as religion, the persecution of the Dalai Lama, and the fate of Asian religion in a globalized world. 410 0$aNew approaches to Asian history ;$v8. 517 3 $aReligion & the Making of Modern East Asia 606 $aBuddhism$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aConfucianism$zChina$xHistory 607 $aJapan$xReligion 607 $aChina$xReligion 615 0$aBuddhism$xHistory. 615 0$aConfucianism$xHistory. 676 $a200.951 686 $aHIS003000$2bisacsh 700 $aDuBois$b Thomas David$f1969-$0921554 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825741503321 996 $aReligion and the making of modern East Asia$94098992 997 $aUNINA
