A New Modern History of East Asia. Volume 1

Edited by Eckhardt Fuchs, Tokushi Kasahara, Sven Saaler and the Trilateral China-Japan-Korea History Textbook Editorial Committee. Translated by Maya Ileto and Roger Prior.

For decades, historians and societal forces have campaigned for rapprochement, reconciliation and dialogue between East Asian nations. This book is a result of these efforts. Debates regarding the interpretation of the modern history of East Asia continue to affect bilateral relations between the states of the region. History education has become a particularly controversial issue in this context. This book's main message is that a common understanding regarding the history of East Asia is possible, even though some differences remain. The authors are a group of historians, teachers and concerned citizens from China, Japan and South Korea.
