Friendly Connections: Philadelphia Quakers and Japan since the Late Nineteenth Century
This captivating book delves into the intricate history of relations between members of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, of Philadelphia and Japanese intellectuals, educators, and activists. Written by Japanese and North American experts, it showcases the profound impact of education, women's rights, interracial equality, politics, disaster relief, reform, and peace efforts on both societies. Spanning seventeen chapters, this understudied chapter unveils the remarkable story of these overlooked connections. Throughout the modern era, these alliances, frequently forged between women, have played a pivotal role in shaping initiatives for peace, equality, and women's rights in Japan and the United States.
Drawing attention to the significance of "women's work for women," and shedding light on the supportive role of British Quakers, this book uncovers the intricate networks that have sustained Japan-America ties for over a century and a half. It sheds light on the profound exchanges, collaborations, and shared ideals that have transcended geographical boundaries, fostering a lasting bond between these two nations. By exploring the multifaceted relationship between Philadelphia Quakers and Japan, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of international relations and the enduring power of human connections.
