[This book] is a highly stimulating collection, designed to make
undergraduates think, but one which should appeal to an informed
audience well beyond universities...[It undoes] a fair amount of
the conventional wisdom about East Asia in the modern period,
showing that there were other possibilities and other options for
the development of these societies than the one that eventually
emerged...the quality of the writing is uniformally high, making
each chapter a pleasure to read.--J. E. Hoare"Asian Affairs"
