Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to explain the emergence of three of the most dynamic societies in early modern (1500-1800) and modern (1800-present) times: China, Korea, and Japan. In addition to offering an introductory overview of East Asian history, this course provides an alternative view to American and European interpretations of early modern and modern world history. Rather than imagining East Asia as a passive actor in history, this course explores the ways in which East Asia has shaped global modernity.
