Bryan Lowe s ground-breaking book is extraordinary for its insights into an era and topic that have long been ignored in the West: the Nara Period and the copying of scriptures. Lowe uses an interdisciplinary approach that includes political, economic, ritual, and ethical aspects in an exemplary fashion. His examination of the Indian, Central Asian, and Sinitic backgrounds of the subject extends his discussion to almost all of Buddhist Asia.--Paul Groner, professor emeritus, University of Virginia"
Bryan Lowe offers a richly textured account of early Japanese Buddhist manuscript cultures and their associated ritual practices. Through careful analysis of scriptural colophons as well as materials from the Shosoin archive, Lowe demonstrates the importance of ritualized writing for rulers, aristocrats, scribes, and 'good friends' of the Buddhist Dharma across the Japanese islands. In so doing, he provides a compelling new account of contemporaneous understandings of merit, kingship, deities, religious identity, and a host of other issues that resonated within Japanese religious culture for centuries.--Michael Como, Columbia University

"Ranging across a wide array of topics and scholarship, this book remaps large parts of American history. In Frymer's telling, the nation's territorial expansion emerges as a far more fascinating and perilous journey than we had imagined."--Edward L. Ayers, author of the Bancroft Prize-winning In the Presence of Mine Enemies: The Civil War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863
"Building an American Empire is a profound achievement in the study of American state formation. Through a dazzling array of sources and a painstaking analysis of federal land policy, Frymer beautifully demonstrates how the 'weak' American state could nonetheless pursue a project of dramatic territorial expansion. In the process, he both highlights the centrality of settler notions of membership to the path of American political development as well as the ideological and racial diversity that persisted at the edges of federal power. This is a foundational work that all students of American politics will have to reckon with, one that links the national experience to global projects of colonial state formation and that captures the deep interrelation between race, empire, and state building in U.S. history."--Aziz Rana, author of The Two Faces of American Freedom
"In this sweeping, authoritative, clearly written, and bracingly revisionist history of the formative era of American land policy, Paul Frymer shows how governmental institutions worked, often in hidden ways, to create a settler society dedicated to white supremacy. It has been fifty years since a scholar has analyzed the mechanisms of territorial expansion in such detail, making Building an American Empire essential reading for specialists in the history of immigration, state building, race relations, and American political development."--Richard R. John, Columbia University, author of Network Nation: Inventing American Telecommunications
"Building an American Empire is full of interesting ideas, facts, and insights. Frymer argues that the American state vigorously engaged in acquiring and governing land, and built a predominantly white society that employed racial removal and envisioned a marginal role for Native Americans and free blacks."--David Brian Robertson, author of The Original Compromise: What the Constitution's Framers Were Really Thinking
"Frymer has crafted an intellectually ambitious, important book that addresses one of the most significant questions in American history: how did a tiny coastal federation with a weak state effectively settle a rich and contested--not to mention already occupied--land mass?"--Brian Balogh, author of A Government Out of Sight: The Mystery of National Authority in Nineteenth-Century America
Paul Frymer is professor of politics and director of the Program in Law and Public Affairs at Princeton University. He is the author of Uneasy Alliances: Race and Party Competition in America and Black and Blue: African Americans, the Labor Movement, and the Decline of the Democratic Party (both Princeton).
"Wehave been waiting for a book that would investigate the full impact ofglobalization on the social sciences and humanities. Here it is." --Boaventurade Sousa Santos, author of Epistemologies of the South: Justiceagainst Epistemicide "More than a manual of methodologies, this innovative book is a reflectionon the emerging field of Global Studies--what it is, what it can do, and how itcan do it. It's an important book, one that will be widely used and discussed.It provides pathways for research for anyone working on issues related to ourincreasingly global milieu."--Mark Juergensmeyer, editor of ThinkingGlobally: A Global Studies Reader
"Globalization respects no borders--between countries or betweendisciplines. This book will be greatly valued by researchers and students forits clear, comprehensive overview of concepts and methods in a field ofchallenging diversity." --Ulf Hannerz, Professor, Stockholm University,and author of Writing Future Worlds
"Sets a new standard for linking theory, case studies, and research designin the study of global processes. The theoretical overview is wide-ranging andaccessible, the extended case studies are vivid and timely, and thepresentation of research methods and design will be of great value to bothteachers and students." --Arjun Appadurai, Paulette Goddard Professor ofMedia, Culture, and Communication, New York University
"The authors take on the heroic--and ambitious--task of giving definitionto an emerging field of inquiry, one whose rise tolls the history of thepresent in a critically important way. They bring to it an entirely freshperspective, simultaneously laying out a theoretical framework, amethodological prospectus, and, most of all, a promise to decenter knowledgeproduction from its received, often sterile, hegemonic centers." --JohnComaroff , Hugh K. Foster Professor of African and African American Studies andof Anthropology, Harvard University
"A stunning example of transdisciplinary scholarship. Drawing on theirlong experience in global studies, the authors show how no academic disciplinehas remained untouched by the transformations of our global age. It providesstudents and scholars with a brilliant introduction to transdisciplinaryscholarship." --Thomas Duve, Director, Max Planck Institute for EuropeanLegal History
"An important step in the transformation of Global Studies from apluridisciplinary field of inquiry to a self-confident approach in its ownright." --Matthias Middell, Professor, Global and European StudiesInstitute, University of Leipzig
"A field defining text that invites ongoing critical thinking on itsglobal context. It succeeds at presenting Global Studies in a way that givesthe field coherence and methodological meaning at the same time that itpreserves opportunities for open-ended transdisciplinary exploration andinnovation." --Matt Sparke, Director of Integrated Social Sciences,University of Washington, Seattle
"Scholars of Global Studies have been striving to define the field. Thisbook is a great contribution to these efforts. It constructs a comprehensivetheoretical framework, research design, and methodology of GlobalStudies." --Guo Chang-gang, Director, Center for Global Studies,Shanghai University
"Reflects the intellectual excitement of Global Studies. The authors showthat this timely field is not characterized by a set disciplinary canon, butthat at its core, it is driven by a search for fresh perspectives, alternativeimaginaries, and new questions. A must-read for students and scholars who arethinking and working globally."--Dominic Sachsenmaier, Professor,Department of Sinology and Department of History, University of Gottingen
Darian-Smith and McCarty have given us a major new contribution tothe study of the global. Among the core elements are the negotiating ofmultiple forms of knowledge, decentering the production of global knowledge,and recognizing non-western epistemologies. This is a must read. --Saskia Sassen, author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexityin the Global Economy
Erudite and accessible, this book offers a masterful delineation of the growingtransdisciplinary field of Global Studies. Most importantly, Darian-Smith andMcCarty's path-breaking presentation of the theories, methods, and trainingrelevant to Global Studies provides both students and scholars with a clearsense of what it means to engage in global research. This is an indispensableguide to a better understanding of the new forms of global interdependence thatshape our fast-paced world in the 21stcentury.--Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Sociology, University ofHawai'i-Manoa & Honorary Professor of Global Studies, RMIT University(Melbourne).
