Pan Asianism: A Documentary History, Vol. 1, 1850-–1920: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Pan Asianism: A Documentary History, Vol. 1, 1850-–1920" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This first volume in a two-volume set provides the only comprehensive, Western-language history of Pan-Asianism through primary sources and commentaries. The book argues that Pan-Asianism, oftenthough unfairlyassociated with the Yellow Peril, has been a powerful political and ideological force in modern Asia. It has shaped national identities and strongly influenced the development of international relations across Asia and the Pacific. Scholars have long recognized the importance of Pan-Asianism as an ideal of Asian solidarity, regional cooperation, and integration but also as an ideology that justified imperialist expansion and military aggression. Yet sustained research has been hampered by the difficulty of accessing primary sources.
Thoroughly remedying this problem, this unique sourcebook provides a wealth of documents on Pan-Asianism from 1850 to 1920, many translated for the first time from Asian languages. All sources are accompanied by expert commentaries that provide essential background information. Providing an essential overview of Pan-Asianism as it developed throughout modern Asia, this collection will be an indispensable tool for scholars in history, political science, international relations, and sociology. Its accessible presentation makes it a valuable resource for non-specialists as well.

Preface and Acknowledgments

Pan-Asianism has been an ideology that has shaped the history of Asia over the past century and a half. It has been used both to express transnational aspirations to Asian regionalism and integration and to legitimize aggression and empire building. Whereas the former application makes Pan-Asianism highly relevant today in connection with various initiatives for regional integration, the latter has discredited Pan-Asianism to such an extent that for many years historians treated it as a taboo. The result is that there is no comprehensive book of materials on Pan-Asianism in English or, for that matter, in any Western language. This sad state of affairs has in effect hampered the study of modern Asian and Japanese history in which Pan-Asianism has played a decisive role. This book is intended to remedy this glaring gap. It is hoped that it will promote research into modern Asian history and throw some light on those many aspects of international relations in Asia that have remained underresearched because of shortage of easily accessible sources.

This project is the fruit of several years collaboration by three dozen scholars on four continents. Several contributors to this project cooperated also on a collection of articles titled Pan-Asianism in Modern Japanese History , which was published in 2007. The preface to that volume stressed the need for further research on Pan-Asianism that would not be limited only to Japan but cover also the rest of Asia. For, although pan-Asian ideology was most frequently articulated in Japan, it had numerous and important advocates also in other Asian countries. For a number of practical reasons, however, it was necessary to limit the focus of the 2007 volume only to Japan. In recent years, however, Pan-Asianism as an academic field has shown rapid growth with a number of important publications on Pan-Asianism appearing in English, Japanese, and Chinese (see the introduction for further details). But the difficulty of obtaining access to primary sources is the root cause of the various problems that plague the field and the main obstacle on research that transcends both national boundaries and the limitations of historical periodization. The difficulty is also compounded by linguistic problems since only few, if any, scholars are competent in all the diverse languages of Asia that are required to engage in a comparative study of Pan-Asianism. To remedy these difficulties, the editors decided it would be a good idea to publish a collection of important primary sources in English. But when we started putting together documents along these lines, we ended up with more seminal documents than could fit in a single volume. As we kept working on it over a period of three years, our collection expanded into two hefty volumes of more than 100,000 words each. Yet, in spite of the size of this work, it was unfortunately impossible to include some very important documents. Some of the texts included in the work in their original languages can be accessed online on the following home page (see http://asianism.japanesehistory.de). The home page, which also includes additional sources of relevance as well as photographic material, will be expanded in the future as new sources come to our attention. Needless to say, the editors would have been unable to complete such a huge enterprise on their own. In this connection, we owe a great debt of gratitude to a number of institutions and individuals without whose cooperation, assistance, and support this publication would not have seen the light of day.
