Sources of East Asian Tradition - The Modern Period (Paperback)

In "Sources of East Asian Tradition," Wm. Theodore de Bary offers a selection of essential readings from his immensely popular anthologies "Sources of Chinese Tradition," "Sources of Korean Tradition," and "Sources of Japanese Tradition" so readers can experience a concise but no less comprehensive portrait of the social, intellectual, and religious traditions of East Asia. Volume 2 covers major events from 1600 to the present, including the initial contact of China, Korea, and Japan with the West; nineteenth- and twentieth-century reform movements in China, along with the Nationalist and Communist revolutions; Korea's encounter with imperialist Japan; and the Meiji Restoration, the emergence of political parties and liberalism, and the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars. De Bary maintains his trademark balance of source materials, including seminal readings in the areas of history, society, politics, education, philosophy, and religion, thereby continuing his own tradition of providing an exceptional resource for teachers, scholars, students, and the general reader.
