?....graceful account of American and Japanese collaboration on a
shared enterprise.?-American Historical Review
?...the lessons to be drawn from this well-documented and
perceptive book are certainly abundant.?-Canadian Journal of
History
?The advantage of this study lies in the fact that it concentrates
on Americans in Hokkaido--that is, on a specific group of
foreigners and a particular region. Fujita is, moreover, interested
not only in what Americans contributed to Japan's rapid development
in the Meiji period, but also on the particular experiences that
Americans has in Japan in their interaction with Japanese and the
effect that their Japanese experiences had on their own lives and
careers.?-Pacific Historical Review
?The work's greatest value lies in the light it sheds on the nature
of the Japanese-American relationship at its star, through its
attention to the complex question of contact and communication
between disparate cultures and its comparison of attitudes of both
Japanese and American....it should be a valuable addition to any
library collection on modern Japan.?-The Historian
