{"product_id":"transpacific-visions-yasuko-hassall-kobayashi-9781793621320","title":"Transpacific Visions: Connected Histories of the Pacific across North and South","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that transpacific history cannot be comprehended without including \"vertical\" connections; namely, those between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere. It explores such connections by uncovering small histories of ordinary people's attempts at 騅駭ements which they undertake by means of uneven, unlevel, and multidirectional mobilities. In this way, this book goes beyond the usual notion of transpacific history as a matter of Northern Hemisphere-centric connections between the United States and Asian countries, and enables us to imagine a transpacific space as a more dynamic and multi-faceted world of human mobilities and connections. In this book, both eminent and burgeoning historians uncover the stories of little-known, myriad encounters in various parts of the Asia-Pacific region. By exploring cases whose actors include soldiers, missionaries, colonial administrators, journalists, essayists, and artists, the book highlights the significance of \"vertical\" perspectives in understanding complex histories of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasuko Hassall Kobayashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793621322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793621320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Yasuko Hassall Kobayashi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988612284671,"sku":"9781793621320","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_154db3f9-2843-4dcd-9130-6911140e9b42.jpg?v=1683295399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transpacific-visions-yasuko-hassall-kobayashi-9781793621320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
