The Teleology of the Modern Nation-state: Japan and China (Encounters with Asia)

by JoshuaA.Fogel (Editor)

Synopsis

Although we may be aware that China and Japan were not nation-states until relatively recently, we still speak and write about Han dynasty China or Jomon Japan. And almost all historians refer to prehistoric China or Japan. Thus imposing the national story on the local, the authors contend, harms the historical record.
