In this engaging and informative book, Thomas David DuBois sets out to explain how religious traditions and philosophies in China and Japan have evolved and intersected since the birth of Confucianism in China and the arrival of Buddhism in Japan. Crossing a broad terrain from Tokyo to Tibet, the book concentrates on the post-fourteenth century, when the long-lasting political dynasties that transformed the political, social, and economic institutions of both countries came into being. It is these connections that the author is keen to highlight, and he does so to effect by using key moments, such as the Taiping Uprising and the Boxer Rebellion, to underscore the importance of religion in transforming the course of Asian history. Contemporary chapters reflect on the wartime deification of the Japanese emperor, Marxism as religion, and the persecution of the Dalai Lama"--cProvided by publisher.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aJapanxReligion. 0aBuddhismzJapanxHistory. 0aChinaxReligion. 0aConfucianismzChinaxHistory. 7aHISTORY / Asia / General2bisacsh 7aRELIGION / History2bisacsh 7aTRAVEL / Special Interest / Religious2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aDuBois, Thomas David, 1969-tReligion and the making of modern East Asia.dNew York : Cambridge University Press, 2011z9781107008090w(DLC)  2010040091w(OCoLC)666491873 0aNew approaches to Asian history.403NetLibraryuhttp://www.netLibrary.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=366292  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c50360d50360
