Foreigners in Japan
Japan began to fascinate the West after the account of Marco Polos sojourn in China. This set off an interest in the oriental world. The Portuguese, being the first, arrived in Japan in 1543 which was followed by others. The experience Japan had with Europeans put upon itself isolation for about 200 years. After the forceful opening by Mathew Perry in 1853, many Westerners again began to arrive in Japan. Later during the 1980s, there was an influx of migrant workers which become a hot topic of debate. The book throws much light onto the historical background as well as the events that lead up to the present state of affairs in relation to issues of discrimination, crimes and problems related to foreigners.
Sinophone Southeast Asia
This volume explores the diverse linguistic landscape of Southeast Asia’s Chinese communities. Based on archival research and previously unpublished linguistic fieldwork, it unearths a wide variety of language histories, linguistic practices, and trajectories of words. The localized and often marginalized voices we bring to the spotlight are quickly disappearing in the wake of standardization and homogenization, yet they tell a story that is uniquely Southeast Asian in its rich hybridity. Our comparative scope and focus on language, analysed in tandem with history and culture, adds a refreshing dimension to the broader field of Sino-Southeast Asian Studies.

The English Renaissance and the Far East
The English Renaissance and the Far East: Cross-Cultural Encounters is an original and timely examination of cultural encounters between Britain, China, and Japan. It challenges accepted, Anglocentric models of East-West relations and offers a radical reconceptualization of the English Renaissance, suggesting it was not so different from current developments in an increasingly Sinocentric world, and that as China, in particular, returns to a global center-stage that it last occupied pre-1800, a curious and overlooked synergy exists between the early modern and the present. Prompted by the current eastward tilt in global power, in particular towards China, Adele Lee examines cultural interact...

Sejarah Asia Timur
Asia Timur merupakan salah satu kawasan tempat berkembangnya peradaban kuno yang memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap wilayah-wilayah di sekitarnya. Secara bertahap, kawasan ini melakukan transformasi dari masyarakat prasejarah bersifat kesukuan yang mengandalkan perburuan menjadi masyarakat agraris dengan entitas lebih besar berupa kerajaan atau kekaisaran. Negara-negara di Asia Timur, seperti Tiongkok, Jepang, dan Korea Selatan, pada masa kini telah tumbuh menjadi kekuatan ekonomi dan politik global. Setidaknya, terdapat tiga periodisasi yang terjadi di kawasan ini, antara lain periode Klasik, Abad Pertengahan, serta Abad Modern. Periode Klasik menjelaskan mengenai prasejarah hingga pembentukan entitas kekuasaan tingkat awal yang nantinya menjembatani terbentuknya entitas kekuatan utama pada abad Pertengahan. Periode abad Pertengahan ditandai dengan struktur pemerintahan yang telah matang serta munculnya sistem hukum tertulis. Sementara itu, abad Modern di Asia Timur ditandai dengan perkembangan sejumlah negara di Asia Timur menjadi kekuatan berpengaruh dalam percaturan global saat ini.
Soumrak samurajů
Po dlouhá staletí dominovali Zemi vycházejícího slunce příslušníci vojenské vrstvy – samurajové. Pod jejich vládou Japonsko zaznamenalo od počátku 17. století období prosperity, vnitřní stability a míru. To vše za cenu izolace země od „zhoubného“ vlivu cizinců ze západu a vojenské diktatury na domácí scéně. Od počátku 19. století však zájem „jižních barbarů“ o japonské ostrovy neustále stoupal. Po roce 1854 muselo Japonsko otevřít své přístavy evropským a americkým plavidlům a následně navázat i oficiální styky se západními mocnosti. Tento střet s naprosto odlišnou kulturou destabilizoval systém vojenské vlády tokugawského...
