Confronting the East–West clash in modern life A provocative examination of how race, culture, and immigration shape America's future with Japan and other Oriental nations. This edition looks at why whites and Asiatics see each other as threats and how early 20th‑century policies tried to manage the tension.
Two concise chapters survey the roots of misunderstanding, the economic and political stakes, and the moral questions behind exclusion and assimilation. It offers a thoughtful argument for treating individuals with fairness while recognizing the real differences that influence social life, work, and citizenship.
- Understand the core tensions: immigration, labor, and the idea of racial equality.
- Explore differing perspectives from Americans and people in Asia on civilization, law, and opportunity.
- Learn about proposed solutions rooted in dignity, dialogue, and practical policy.
- See examples of personal interactions that illustrate both mistrust and potential for understanding.
Ideal for readers interested in race relations, immigration policy, and the historical context of American attitudes toward Japan and other East–West dynamics. This edition provides a framework for considering how to balance national interests with compassion and fairness.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
