This volume is a festschrift for Chalmers Johnson by those inspired by his insight into East Asian affairs, his attention to context, and his academic rigor and integrity. It is a collection of essays organized around a fundamental premise in contemporary political affairs: the uncompleted East Asian project of modernity.
