Using a wealth of resources, including diaries, newspaper accounts, and contemporary journals, Asia for the Asians: China in the Lives of Five Meiji Japanese dispenses with dominant narratives to explore the Meiji view of China, imagined, real and evolving, through the eyes of five people who actually lived and traveled in China and worked with the Chinese. The new picture that emerges, while highly complex, suggests that the potential for cooperation was stronger, the road to conflict less certain, and the responsibility for things gone wrong more difficult to assign than is usually assumed. 410 0$aStudies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 606 $aJapanese$zChina$xHistory$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aJapanese$zChina$xHistory$y20th century$vBiography 607 $aJapan$xRelations$zChina 607 $aChina$xRelations$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zJapan 607 $aChina$xForeign public opinion, Japanese 607 $aJapan$xHistory$yMeiji period, 1868-1912 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 676 $a951.033 700 $aHarrell$b Paula$f1939-$01870181 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969863203321 996 $aAsia for the Asians$94478546 997 $aUNINA
