This book argues that transpacific history cannot be comprehended
without including "vertical" connections; namely, those between the
southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere. It explores such
connections by uncovering small histories of ordinary people's
attempts at evenements which they undertake by means of uneven,
unlevel, and multidirectional mobilities. In this way, this book
goes beyond the usual notion of transpacific history as a matter of
Northern Hemisphere-centric connections between the United States
and Asian countries, and enables us to imagine a transpacific space
as a more dynamic and multi-faceted world of human mobilities and
connections. In this book, both eminent and burgeoning historians
uncover the stories of little-known, myriad encounters in various
parts of the Asia-Pacific region. By exploring cases whose actors
include soldiers, missionaries, colonial administrators,
journalists, essayists, and artists, the book highlights the
significance of "vertical" perspectives in understanding complex
histories of the region.
