  Explores a discursive tradition that affiliates the East with modern efficiency, in contrast to more familiar primitivist forms of Orientalism. This book examines the relationship between Jack London and leading Progressive George Kennan on US-Japan relations, and Frank Norris and AFL leader Samuel Gompers on cheap immigrant labor.
