East Asia and the West: An Entangled History provides readers with
a comprehensive overview of modern East Asian civilizations. The
text demonstrates how China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam developed
into modern nations through interactions with Western ideas and
military power. Part One of the text provides an overview and
historical background of premodern East Asia, highlighting
differences and similarities between China, Korea, Japan, and
Vietnam, and significant partnerships and innovations from the
1500s to the 1800s. In Part Two, students learn why certain areas
adopted an isolationist policy against Western influence, while
others welcomed the influence. Part Three focuses on confrontation
and Westernization, featuring discussion of the Opium Wars, the
Meiji Transformation, and French colonization in Indochina. Part
Four covers major events that occurred during World War II,
including the communist movements in East Asia during the war. The
final part examines the competition and confrontation between the
capitalist and communist systems during the Cold War in East Asia.
The text features transliteration notes, maps, and an expansive
bibliography to provide students with a complete and immersive
learning experience. East Asia and the West is part of the Cognella
History of Asia Series, a collection of books dedicated to helping
students explore the exciting, complex, and influential past of
Asian countries.
