Review
This book is an extremely valuable contribution. It extends our understanding of the development of an African-American worldview back into the late 1800s, and its focus on black Americans' perceptions of Asia takes us into virtually uncharted territory. (American Historical Review)
Gallicchio has written a fascinating account of African American admiration for Japan, and it is an important contribution to the growing literature on U.S. perceptions of Asia. (Choice)
Gallicchio is the first historian who has successfully and persuasively integrated African American history into the history of U.S.-East Asian relations. (Akira Iriye, Harvard University)
In this remarkable and valuable book, Marc Gallicchio has made a signal contribution to a growing body of scholarship that has created a new paradigm by placing the struggle for racial equality in a global context. (Gerald Horne, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)
This study insightfully captures the meanings and consequences for black internationalism of shifting African American attitudes toward Japan and China over time. (Waldo E. Martin Jr., University of California, Berkeley)
