This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Japan, after 250 years of self--imposed isolation, began the process of modernization is in part the story of Ranald MacDonald.

Although promptly arrested and imprisoned for seven months in Nagasaki, the intelligent, well-educated MacDonald fascinated the Japanese and became one of their first teachers of English and Western ways.

Schodt has written extensively on Japan, including America and the Four Japans and Inside the Robot Kingdom. Fluent in spoken and written Japanese, he lives in San Francisco. In 2009 he was received the The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette for his contribution to the introduction and promotion of Japanese contemporary popular culture.

Book Synopsis Before and After the State by : Allan K. McDougall
Download or read book Before and After the State written by Allan K. McDougall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of the Canada–US borderland in the Pacific Northwest included the wholesale transformation of social organization and individual identities together with the redefinition and application of public power. Before and After the State examines the impact of those changes across a region that already harboured a vibrant, highly complex mélange of societies with dynamic local, regional, and global trade and kin networks. Allan McDougall, Lisa Philips, and Daniel Boxberger explore fundamental questions of state formation, social transformation, and the (re)construction of identity to expose the narratives and other devices of nation building, their impact on generations caught in the transition, and the reverberations of those national myths that continue to the present.
