The roots of today's "clash of civilizations" between the Islamic
world and the West are not solely anchored in the legacy of the
crusades or the early Islamic conquests: in many ways, it is a more
contemporary story rooted in the nineteenth-century history of
resistance to Western hegemony. And as this compellingly argued and
carefully researched transnational study shows, the Ottoman Middle
East believed it had found an ally and exemplar for this resistance
in Meiji Japan. Here, author Renee Worringer details the ways in
which Japan loomed in Ottoman consciousness at the turn of the
twentieth century, exploring the role of the Japanese nation as a
model for Ottomans in attaining "non-Western" modernity in a global
order dominated by the West. Japan's domestic and international
achievements kindled a century-long fascination with the nation in
Ottoman lands, one that arguably reached its ironic culmination
with the arrival of Japanese troops in Iraq in 2004.
