Yankees and Samurai

"Yankees and Samurai: America's Role in the Emergence of Modern Japan, 1791-1900" is a book written by John M. Maki and published in 1991. The book explores the relationship between the United States and Japan during the period of 1791 to 1900, and how the interactions between these two nations helped to shape modern Japan.

The title "Yankees and Samurai" refers to the contrast between the two cultures, with the Yankees representing the Americans and the Samurai representing the Japanese. The book explores how the Americans and Japanese initially viewed each other with suspicion and mistrust, but eventually developed a relationship based on trade and diplomacy.

One of the key events covered in the book is the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in Japan in 1853, which led to the opening of Japan to foreign trade and diplomacy after centuries of isolation. The book also examines the influence of American ideas and technology on Japan during this period, and how this helped to modernize and transform Japanese society.

Overall, "Yankees and Samurai" offers a detailed and fascinating account of the early interactions between the United States and Japan, and how these interactions helped to shape the course of Japanese history.
