The author is a research associate at the Center for International
Studies, M.I.T. and this effort is a report of what Americans think
of the Chinese and Indians and what they think of relationships
between East and West. The Scrathes refer to images, feelings -
annoyance, anger, fear, wonder, frustration, passion or panic. And
as such tells us, of course, more about the American mentality and
attitude than about that of the Orient. The report is not offered
as a statistical sample; it is based on the author's conception of
representative American leadership types from the academic world,
mass media, government, business, public opinion and education and
the churches, from an informed group of interviewees. Parts of the
findings are: that more than one-half of those interviewed have
negative feelings about India (because of the figure created by
Nehru, Krishna Mennon, Indian caste and foreign policy differences
between India and the U.S.), whereas the Chinese are generally
admired. But then most people know more about the Chinese, which
accounts for the impression, still, of India as exotically
fabulous. The value of this book, for those seriously interested in
the East, probably lies in the areas it exposes for propagandizing.
(Kirkus Reviews)
