Letter from the Editors: We are pleased to present the 2021 Columbia University Press Asian studies catalog. These books span many fields in Asian studies—history, politics, literary studies, philosophy, religion, and film—and reflect the interdisciplinary and global approach of our list.

First and foremost, we would like to congratulate Yurou Zhong, whose Chinese Grammatology: Script Revolution and Literary Modernity, 1916–1958 was recognized with an honorable mention by the Joseph Levenson Prize Post-1900 committee. We are also delighted to make available in English translation Ying-shih Yü’s classic The Religious Ethic and Mercantile Spirit in Early Modern China and Chin-shing Huang’s Confucianism and Sacred Space. Yuri Pines helps us to make sense of new archeological findings in Zhou History Unearthed: The Bamboo Manuscript Xinian and Early Chinese Historiography. And Laura Moretti’s Pleasure in Profit offers a comprehensive reevaluation of seventeenth-century Japanese literature through the lens of trade publishing, from self-help to get rich quick genres.

In history and politics, Columbia continues its long tradition of publishing cutting-edge works that speak to Asia’s past and present. We are especially pleased to debut new histories of Asia that span a wide range of periods, from Audrey Truschke’s The Language of History: Sanskrit Narratives of Indo-Muslim Rule to Eric Schluessel’s Land of Strangers: The Civilizing Project in Qing Central Asia. These works join our recent modern histories of the region, such as Yoshikuni Igarashi’s Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass Consumerism and Peter Hamilton’s Made in Hong Kong: Transpacific Networks and a New History of Globalization.

In politics, Saori N. Katada takes a closer look at how Japan shapes the region’s economic order in Japan's New Regional Reality: Geoeconomic Strategy in the Asia-Pacific. And in U.S. Strategy in the Asian Century: Empowering Allies and Partners, Abraham M. Denmark provides an incisive account of the paths forward for American foreign policy in Asia.

Among the many new outstanding philosophy and religion titles in this year’s wide-ranging catalog, several deserve special attention. Other Minds by Sonam Kachru demonstrates that Vasubandhu’s theory of mind offers the first enactivist account in world philosophy. Avram Alpert’s A Partial Enlightenment explores Buddhism as it has been imagined in global modernist literature, concluding that personal and social change are possible only when we recognize that suffering is inevitable. And in Lineages of the Literary, Nicole Willock analyzes the writings of three Tibetan Buddhist scholars in the post-Mao era and shows how they by turns safeguarded, taught, and celebrated Tibetan Buddhist knowledge, practices, and institutions at a pivotal juncture in SinoTibetan history.

Columbia’s Asian studies list has, from its inception, been dedicated to providing quality translations and other teaching materials. Christopher Rea developed Chinese Film Classics, 1922–1949 specifically for classroom use, and the accompanying website and YouTube channel provide video lectures and subtitled films. Susan Chan Egan and Pai Hsien-yung’s A Companion to The Story of the Stone can help make teaching the epic text to undergraduates feasible and fun. Budding historians will enjoy the trove of primary documents presented by Fumiko Miyazaki, Kate Wildman Nakai, and Mark Teeuwen in Christian Sorcerers on Trial: Records of the 1827 Osaka Incident. Minae Mizumura’s An I-Novel, translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter, will inspire conversations ranging from genre to identity, and Immanuel Kim’s rendition of Friend by Paek Nam-nyong is the first novel from the DPRK available in English translation.

The Membranes

An I-Novel

Chi Ta-wei

Translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter in collaboration with the author

Minae Mizumura

A Novel

Translated by Ari Larissa Heinrich

First published in Taiwan in 1995, The Membranes is a classic of queer speculative fiction in Chinese.

Chi Ta-wei weaves dystopian tropes—heirloom animals, radiation-proof combat drones, sinister surveillance technologies—into a sensitive portrait of one young woman’s quest for self-understanding.

Minae Mizumura’s An I-Novel is a semiautobiographical work that takes place over the course of a single day in the 1980s. This formally daring novel radically broke with Japanese literary tradition and offers a luminous meditation on how a person becomes a writer.

LITERATURE/CULTURE The Poetics of Early Chinese Thought

Top Graduate Zhang Xie

How the Shijing Shaped the Chinese Philosophical Tradition

The Earliest Extant Chinese Southern Play

Translated and introduced by Regina S. Llamas

Michael Hunter

The modern imagination of classical Chinese thought has long been dominated by Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, and other “Masters” of the Warring States period. Michael Hunter argues that this approach neglects the far more central role of poetry, and the Shijing (Classic of Poetry) in particular, in the formation of the philosophical tradition. $145.00 / £120.00 cloth 978-0-231-20122-3 July 2021 208 pages 2 illus.

Top Graduate Zhang Xie is the first extant play in the Chinese southern dramatic tradition and a milestone in the history of Chinese literature.

Dating from the early fifteenth century, but possibly composed earlier, it relates the story of a talented scholar who sets off for the capital to take the imperial exams. $105.00 / £81.00 cloth 978-0-231-19792-2 May 2021 288 pages

Cho-yun Hsu

Edited by John Minford Translated by Annie Ren Luman and Carol Ong

Transmutations of Desire

Keywords in Chinese Culture

Literature and Religion in Late Imperial China

Edited by Wai-yee Li and Yuri Pines

Qiancheng Li

Qiancheng Li examines the nuances of the trend toward love occupying center stage in the Chinese context. The emphasis is on readings of literary texts, including important Ming- and Qingdynasty works of drama, Buddhist texts, and other religious and philosophical works, in all their subtlety and evocative power.

Like every culture, Chinese has its set of keywords: pivotal terms of political, ethical, literary, and philosophical discourse. This volume analyzes some of these keywords from different disciplinary and temporal perspectives, offering a new integrative study of their semantic richness, development trajectory, and distinct usages.

Popular Prose in Seventeenth-Century Japan

Japanese Literature in a Global Information Age

Hoyt Long offers both a reinterpretation of modern Japanese literature through computational methods and an introduction to the history, theory, and practice of looking at literature through numbers. He weaves explanations of these methods and their application together with reflection on the kinds of reasoning such methodologies facilitate.

In the first comprehensive study of the birth of Japanese commercial publishing, Laura Moretti investigates the vibrant world of vernacular popular literature. She marshals new data on the magnitude of the seventeenth-century publishing business and highlights the diversity and porosity of its publishing genres.

This volume presents two memoirs by famous men of letters, Reminiscences of the Plum Shadows Convent by Mao Xiang (1611–93) and Miscellaneous Records of Plank Bridge by Yu Huai (1616–96), that recall times spent with courtesans. They evoke the courtesan world in the final decades of the Ming dynasty and the aftermath of its collapse.

In Chinese Grammatology, Yurou Zhong traces the origins, transmutations, and containment of this script revolution to provide a groundbreaking account of its formative effects on Chinese literature and culture and its lasting implications.

LITERATURE/CULTURE The Korean Vernacular Story

Telling Tales of Contemporary Chosŏn in Sinographic Writing

The Veda and the Regional Print Cultures of Colonial India

Si Nae Park

Cezary Galewicz

Si Nae Park examines how the culture of Chosŏn Seoul gave rise to a new vernacular literary form (yadam), anonymously and unofficially circulating tales. She focuses on the collection Repeatedly Recited Stories of the East, which was written in a new medium in which Literary Sinitic is hybridized with the vernacular realities of Chosŏn society.

This book examines the unusual concept of the book that developed in South Asia with reference to the Veda. It tries to understand how emerging regional cultures created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts.

Edo Kabuki in Transition

When Was Modernism

From the Worlds of the Samurai to the Vengeful Female Ghost

Essays on Contemporary Cultural Practice in India

Satoko Shimazaki

Geeta Kapur

JOHN WHITNEY HALL BOOK PRIZE, ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN STUDIES; CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE

Satoko Shimazaki revisits three centuries of kabuki theater, reframing it as a key player in the formation of an early modern urban identity in Edo Japan and exploring the process that resulted in its re-creation in Tokyo as a national theatrical tradition. She then analyzes the profound changes that took place in Edo kabuki toward the end of the early modern period, which witnessed the rise of a new type of character: the vengeful female ghost. $28.00 / £22.00 paper 978-0-231-17227-1 $65.00 / £54.00 cloth 978-0-231-17226-4 2020 392 pages

A commitment to modernity is the underlying theme of this volume. Through essays that are interpretive and theoretical, the author situates the modern in contemporary cultural practice.

The essays divide into three sections. The first two sections, Artists and Artworks and Film/Narratives, raise questions of authorship, genre, and contemporary features of national culture that materialize into an aesthetic in the Indian context. The last section—Frames of Reference—formalizes the polemical options developed across the book. $60.00 / £50.00 paper 978-81-894872-4-9 January 2021 456 pages

When Japan Filled America’s Tea Cups

Material Culture, Identity, and Power in the Northern Frontiers of the Western Zhou, 1045–771 BCE

Robert Hellyer

Yan Sun

Tracing the trans-Pacific tea trade from the eighteenth century onward, Green with Milk and Sugar shows how the interconnections between Japan and the United States have influenced the daily habits of people in both countries. Robert Hellyer explores the forgotten American penchant for Japanese green tea and how it shaped Japanese tastes.

Many Worlds Under One Heaven analyzes a wide range of newly excavated materials to offer a new perspective on political and cultural change under the Western Zhou. Examining tombs, bronze inscriptions, and other artifacts, Yan Sun challenges the Zhou-centered view with a frontier-focused perspective that highlights the roles of multiple actors.

Elizabeth LaCouture

Eugenia Lean

Elizabeth LaCouture considers family, house, and home in Tianjin to explore how everyday life changed with the fall of the Qing Empire and the rise of a colonized city. Dwelling in the World recasts Chinese social and cultural history, offering new lenses on gender and class, colonialism and empire, visual and material culture, and technology.

By examining the manufacturing, commercial, and cultural activities of the maverick industrialist Chen Diexian (1879–1940), Eugenia Lean illustrates how lettered men of early twentieth-century China engaged in “vernacular industrialism,” the pursuit of industry and science outside of conventional venues.

Peter E. Hamilton

Sanskrit Narratives of Indo-Muslim Rule

Transpacific Networks and a New History of Globalization

For over five hundred years, Muslim dynasties ruled parts of northern and central India.

Scholars have long drawn upon works written in Persian and Arabic about this epoch, yet they have neglected the many histories that India’s learned elite wrote about Indo-Muslim rule in Sanskrit. Audrey Truschke offers a groundbreaking analysis of these texts.

Between 1949 and 1997, Hong Kong transformed from a struggling British colonial outpost into a global financial capital. Made in Hong Kong delivers a new narrative of this metamorphosis, revealing Hong Kong both as a critical engine in the expansion and remaking of postwar global capitalism and as the linchpin of Sino-U.S. trade since the 1970s.

JaHyun Kim Haboush

Edited by William J. Haboush and Jisoo M. Kim

JaHyun Kim Haboush offers a compelling counternarrative to Western historiography, which ties Korea’s idea of nation to the imported ideologies of modern colonialism. She instead elevates the formative role of the conflicts that defined the second half of the Chosŏn Dynasty, which had transfigured the geopolitics of East Asia and introduced a national narrative key to Korea's survival.

Diplomatic historians Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia draw on previously untapped primary source materials revealing tensions and rivalries to offer a unique account of the China–North Korea relationship. They unravel the twists and turns in high-level diplomacy between China and North Korea from the late 1940s to the death of Mao Zedong in 1976.

Many of the finest objects of the Western Han dynasty have been excavated from the tombs of kings, who administered local provinces on behalf of the emperors. Allison R. Miller paints a new picture of elite art production by revealing the contributions of the kings to Western Han artistic culture.

Eric Schluessel explores the late nineteenth-century encounter between Chinese power and a Muslim society through the struggles of ordinary people in the oasis of Turpan. He traces the emergence of new struggles around essential questions of identity, recasting the attempted transformation of Xinjiang as a distinctly Chinese form of colonialism.

Brian R. Dott

Translated and with an introduction by George Kallander

After a Chosŏn faction realigned Korea with the Ming dynasty, the Manchu attacked in 1627 and again a decade later, forcing Korea to support the newly founded Qing dynasty. The Korean scholar-official Na Man’gap (1592–1642) recorded the second Manchu invasion in the only firstperson account chronicling the dramatic Korean resistance.

Brian R. Dott explores how the non-native chile went from obscurity to ubiquity in China, influencing not just cuisine but also medicine, language, and cultural identity. The Chile Pepper in China sheds new light on the piquant cultural impact of a potent plant and raises broader questions regarding notions of authenticity in cuisine.

Yingyi Ma

BEST BOOK AWARD FROM THE CIES STUDY ABROAD AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SIG

Scott A. Snyder examines the trajectory of fifty years of South Korean foreign policy and offers predictions—and a prescription—for the future.

Pairing a historical perspective with a shrewd understanding of today’s political landscape, Snyder contends that South Korea’s best strategy remains investing in a robust alliance with the United States.

Yingyi Ma offers a multifaceted analysis of the wave of Chinese students across American higher education based on research in both Chinese high schools and U.S. institutions. Ma argues that their experiences embody the duality of ambition and anxiety that arises from transformative social changes in China.

PHILOSOPHY/RELIGION Stating the Sacred

Shintō in the History and Culture of Japan

Religion, China, and the Formation of the Nation-State

Ronald S. Green

Michael J. Walsh

This book is a concise overview of Shintō through a survey of its key concepts, related archeological finds, central mythology, significant cultural sites, political dimensions, and historical developments. Its goal is to promote an understanding of Shintō as an enduring cultural phenomenon central to Japan past and present.

Stating the Sacred offers a novel approach to nation-state formation, arguing that its most critical element is how the state sacralizes the nation.

Focusing primarily on China, Michael J. Walsh argues that the foundational role of the sacred makes all nation-states religious states.
