Designed for the East Asian history course, this text features the latest scholarship on the region and offers a range of cultural, political, economic and intellectual history. Coverage is balanced among East Asian regions, with approximately 20 per cent of the text focused on Korea, an area that has become increasingly important in East Asian courses and in world politics. Special attention is devoted to coverage of gender and material culture - themes that are reinforced through the text's pedagogical features. Colour inserts illustrate the rich artistic heritage of East Asia and bolster the coverage of material culture.

Poorly Written...,
By Alisa (America) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Japan: A Cultural, Social And Political History, Japan (Paperback)
Um... not in a mean way at all, but this book is very poorly written. I distinctly remember a sentence that used the word "stuff" in it. The flow of the book itself is a little hard to follow as well.
This book attempts to cover a lot of ground, and as it is a fairly short book, it is ridiculously vague and hardly gives enough information. For example, there was only a tiny paragraph on how Chinese writing was brought to Japan and how it was adapted, which hardly sufficed. I found a lot of things in this book were poorly explained... I'd only recommend this book to someone who already knows or has taken a course in Japanese history, and needs a refresher. I haven't really learned much from this book at all, and I am a little disappointed in it for the price I payed. T-T All and all, it isn't bad for a dense refresher, but otherwise, is kind of useless.
