Bailey describes how the Sea of Okhotsk area became integrated into
a world system of economic and cultural ties between the
seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This happened primarily
because of maritime explorations, travel, and trade, which led to
increased connections with both Russia and Japan. Individual
chapters of the book provide analyses of historical sources which
describe cross-cultural encounters and changes in the Sea of
Okhotsk area. This includes analyses of explorers and travellers
who traversed the region for commerce, exploration, diplomacy, and
possible colonization. Historical sources are explored from the
different perspectives of Russians, Japanese, Indigenous peoples,
and international observers from Western countries. Cross-cultural
encounters in the region among these groups led to collaboration,
syncretism, and resistance, sometimes violent and sometimes
peaceful. The last chapter discusses how some international
travellers and foreign residents of HokkaidÅ described the area at
the end of the nineteenth century. Their perspectives confirm that
HokkaidÅ had become a fully colonized space. An essential resource
for students and scholars of cross-cultural studies, Russian
history, Japanese history, and Ainu and Indigenous history.
