Charles Holcombe begins by asking the question 'what is East Asia?'
In the modern age, many of the features that made the region - now
defined as including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam - distinct
have been submerged by the effects of revolution, politics or
globalization. Yet, as an ancient civilization, the region had both
an historical and cultural coherence. This shared past is at the
heart of this ambitious book, which traces the story of East Asia
from the dawn of history to the twenty-first century. The second
edition has been imaginatively revised and expanded to place
emphasis on cross-cultural interactions and connections, both
within East Asia and beyond, with new material on Vietnam and
modern pop culture. The second edition also features a Chinese
character list, additional maps and new illustrations.
