Book SynopsisThis book examines the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–5, a seminal event in history that has been virtually ignored in Western literature. Japan so rapidly defeated China that citizens of Europe suddenly perceived Japan, not only as the dominant power of Asia, but also as a key international player.Trade Review'The methodological approach … allows for a fresh, authentic, and generally correct rendering of historical events … all in all, Paine has written a readable and, seen in light of its long-term perspective, a remarkably instructive book.'

Cambridge University Press Muslim Societies in African History 2 New Approaches to African History Series Number 2
Book SynopsisExamining a series of processes (Islamization, Arabization, Africanization) and case studies from North, West and East Africa, this book gives snapshots of Muslim societies in Africa over the last millennium. In contrast to traditions which suggest that Islam did not take root in Africa, author David Robinson shows the complex struggles of Muslims in the Muslim state of Morocco and in the Hausaland region of Nigeria. He portrays the ways in which Islam was practiced in the 'pagan' societies of Ashanti (Ghana) and Buganda (Uganda) and in the ostensibly Christian state of Ethiopia - beginning with the first emigration of Muslims from Mecca in 615 CE, well before the foundational hijra to Medina in 622. He concludes with chapters on the Mahdi and Khalifa of the Sudan and the Murid Sufi movement that originated in Senegal, and reflections in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001.Trade Review'At a time when popular interest in global Islamic studies is growing, this book's arrival is welcome, particularly given its suitability as an undergraduate textbook. … the book can function as a core text for a semester-long survey. It uses easy language, assumes no prior knowledge of Islamic history, and provides recommendations for further reading at the end of each chapter, as well as a glossary of terms at the back of the book. … the book has much to offer scholarly audiences, too, because of the author's wide erudition and his ability to set the development of African Islam against the broad sweep of global Islamic history. As a lucid and concise overview of major trends in African Islamic history, Muslim Societies in Africa will make an ideal undergraduate textbook as well as a useful reference for historians.' Heather J. Sharkey, University of Pannsylvania'Muslim Societies in African History should do well in the textbooks market. It deserves to be read beyond that market.' African Research and Documentation'… remarkable book clearly emerged in dialogue … With its combination of general chapters, regional case studies and bibliographical information, the book is highly recommendable as an introduction for non-specialist readers.' Achim von Oppen, University of Berlin'David Robinson's excellent new textbook Muslim societies in African history documents the interplay between Islamic thought and African political imagination on a wider scale.'
