| Summary: | "Beginning with the decline of Asia in the "Great Divergence" of the nineteenth century, Asia after Europe offers a new interpretation of how the balance of global power changed over the course of the twentieth century, with the economic and political rise of Asia. Sugata Bose focuses on the conflicting and overlapping ways that Asians have imagined their continent and its role in world history. At a time when the continent seems fractured again by nationalist rivalries, often tied to religious exclusion and violence, Bose concludes with reflections on the meaning and potential of a "pluralized continentalism" today."-- |
