To Stand with the Nations of the World: Japan's Meiji Restoration in World History
Ravina, Mark (Professor of History, Professor of History, Emory University)
In 1868, samurai radicals overthrew the last shogun in the name of ancient Japanese ways. Then they took an opposite course, building a modern Japanese state with the help of Western advisors. This book explains the paradox of the Meiji Restoration: revering the ancient past while embracing the foreign and new.
