...provides a powerful model of how sports are a significant marker
of modernity...resonates beyond the subject matter to explore new
directions in diplomacy and modern East-West relations." — American
Historical Review
“presents a salient intersection between Asian Studies, sports
studies and world history. It not only underlines the significance
of sports in the context of decolonisation, nation-building and
pan-Asian ideas in Asia; it also reflects the power relations
between Asia and the West and the motivation of different
stakeholders in politics and sports" — Journal of Southeast Asian
Studies
"The significance of this splendid book surpasses by far the
history of sports. Based on a huge documentation in several
languages including Japanese, Stefan Huebner provides a unique
history of internationalism and identity formation in
twentieth-century Asia.” - Jürgen Osterhammel, University of
Konstanz
