These studies disproved Orientalist assumptions of a unique “Chinese way of war” or a strategic culture that avoided aggressive confrontation. Scholars also challenge the assumption that Confucian immobility led to a clash of civilizations and decisive defeat in the Opium Wars, First Sino-Japanese War, and Boxer War of 1900. In fact, Qing officials were quick and successful in creating a new military regime. New military histories of the warlords, the Sino-Japanese Wars, and the Chinese Civil War show that developing new types of warfare was central in creating the new nation. All these wars split the country into factions that were supported by outside powers: they were internationalized civil wars. The article also asks how the choice of terms, labels, and categories shapes interpretations and political messages.

Hayford In the third lecture of the Chinese Vistas series, "American Dreams," Jonathan Spence talked about American dreams of China and, more tantalizing, Chinese dreams of America. He sees a series of "paradoxes" from the American Revolution to the present which set Chinese and American dreams at odds.

We shall emerge in the world as a nation with advanced culture.” Mrs. Ning just wanted to know what happened.1

We continue to see new things because we look from new vantage points and use new concepts. Th e era now upon us is marked fi rst by changes in nations: a shrinking Japan, the rise of China, a Korea which is partly rich and partly unresolved, and a beleaguered America. At the same time, transnational webs of culture and power bypass the nation and eff ect internal social challenges. Our Journal has steadily explored how culture and power have interacted at the national, international, and transnational level. For instance, a theme issue edited by John E. Wills looked at China's foreign relations from "tribute system" to "peaceful rise." Th e articles agreed that we must see China today in light of history but threw coolish water on the fashionable idea that we could explain Beijing's foreign relations today as imperial policies restored to life. Wills argued that the so-called "tribute system" existed only for a short while and was not a manifestation of eternal attitudes or strategies. 1 Other recent theme issues edited by Roger Dingman and Xia Yafeng question accepted but

That is, it serves as a record of the scholarly field of American-East Asian relations as well as a representation of the public discourse about such relations. The intended audience is not so much research scholars in advanced stages as upper level undergraduates and graduate students in this and other fields, government and organization officials, scholars in the exploratory stage of research, teachers at the secondary level and above, acquisitions and collection librarians, and serious general readers. Our original purpose, which we still have in mind as an eventual book, was a more ambitious Guide to American-East Asian Relations to include Southeast Asia and other relevant topics, as well as a complete set of indexes, and we welcome comments and suggestions for this project based on the present draft. The Nature and Scope of This Bibliography As in other genres of history, a bibliography should tell its story with the weight and detail to convince but without picky, distracting extras. The emphasis here is on the most useful, up-to-date, and representative scholarly books and articles in English published through the year 2001; however, a distinctive feature is the extensive selection of classic books and articles going back to the nineteenth century, including scholarship, polemics and controversy, fiction, travel, reporting, as well as some films in order to represent changing public discourse over the generations. The need for selectivity is obvious: to take but one example, there are several thousand items published on the subject of Pearl Harbor alone. Bibliographies and online services provide overwhelming numbers of raw references (making selective

Via Wikimedia Commons. 9 Pearl Buck, whose famous title inspired the more sardonic one of this essay, is worthy of more attention by American and Chinese historians. Born Pearl Sydenstricker in 1892, she was the daughter of Southern Presbyterian missionaries who took her to Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, including the grand old city of Nanjing, where she spent more than three decades. Eventually she married the agricultural economist John Lossing Buck, but in 1934, in the midst of religious and political turmoil, left her husband and China for the United States. In 1938 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
