Ottomans Imagining Japan [electronic resource] : East, Middle East, and Non-Western Modernity at the Turn of the Twentieth Century /
Worringer, R.author.
Today's "clash of civilizations" between the Islamic world and the West are in many ways rooted in 19th-century resistance to Western hegemony. This compellingly argued and carefully researched transnational study details the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining "non-Western" modernity in a Western-dominated global order.
