Description

Explore the complex history of nineteenth-century Japan through this collection of essays from Japanese and Western scholars. The Modernizers examines how Japan navigated its transition into a modern society by looking both inward and outward. This volume focuses on two specific methods used to drive progress: the recruitment of foreign employees, known as oyatio gaikokujin, and the dispatch of Japanese students, or Pyugakusei, to study overseas. By analyzing these two distinct paths, the essays demonstrate how these programs helped shape the nation. Readers will discover that the impact of these initiatives went far beyond the initial goals of modernization. The scholars show how the indirect effects of these foreign exchanges and educational programs often reached much further than the original plans intended. This book is an essential resource for those studying the social and political evolution of Meiji Japan.
