"[An] informative volume of immense sweep . . . brimming with ideas. . . . Its call for regional studies is most welcome; one hopes it will be followed by other works as sensitive to the complexities and ambiguities of history and society."---Conrad Schirokauer, The Journal of Asian Studies

"A thought-provoking book that repays close study."---Wolf Mendl, Pacific Review

"These distinguished essays make a major contribution to the debate over how Confucianism has affected East Asian modernization."
