Dynamic Interplay

This introductory chapter sheds light on the ways in which intellectuals from diverse social backgrounds studied, imagined, and experienced a multiplicity of community, which included but was not limited to the “nation” of “Japan.” It tells the story of intellectuals on the periphery of the nation trying to secure a place for their community in a transforming Japan. The chapter also bridges the gaps between separate bodies of scholarship on nation, multilayered community, and kokugaku by demonstrating how a diverse group of intellectuals not only studied and imagined Japan as a monolithic entity, but how they studied and engaged multiple “countries” — local, national, and foreign — while experiencing the transformation of community in nineteenth-century Japan. Ultimately, the chapter takes a fresh new perspective on examining the dynamic interplay between “countries” in transition from early modern to modern times as expressed through poetry and prose, artwork, historical writing, armed combat, and the carrying out of both religious ritual and reform.

Over Time

This introductory chapter discusses how, despite the common origins of Islam and Christianity, Islam has long been misunderstood and misrepresented in Western societies, particularly over such matters as women, polygamy, sex, sexuality, slavery and jihad. Westerners today are largely unaware that Islam is a relatively egalitarian religion which does not endorse differences of birth, caste, wealth or race. In fact, it denounces privilege as un-Islamic, though this has not prevented the emergence of elites and aristocracies over time. Converts often find the egalitarianism a refreshing change. In this spirit, a number of Muslim states have, in modern times, adopted policies of socialist Islamism. For the British, it has always proved difficult to get the institution of slavery into its true perspective. They have tended to close their minds to the fact that for a long time the British profited enormously from the slave trade, preferring to emphasise the later campaigns against the trade and the efforts made to eradicate it in the Muslim parts of Africa during the Victorian period.
