When the East Is in the West, (Paperback)

<p>"When the East Is in the West" is a compelling exploration of the lives and experiences of Japanese immigrants living in the United States during the early 20th century. Written by Maude Whitmore Madden, a missionary with extensive experience in Japan, the work provides a unique perspective on the cultural, social, and spiritual challenges faced by those who crossed the Pacific to build new lives in the West.</p><p>The narrative focuses heavily on the Pacific Coast, where the "East" met the "West" in daily life. Through a series of sketches and observations, Madden highlights the human stories behind the statistics of immigration, emphasizing the potential for mutual understanding and the role of Christian missions in bridging cultural divides. The book serves as both a historical document of its era and a heartfelt plea for racial and religious harmony. Readers interested in the history of Japanese-American relations, missionary literature, and the social dynamics of the 1920s will find this work to be an illuminating study of intercultural encounter. Madden's writing captures the nuances of identity and the enduring spirit of individuals navigating a foreign land while maintaining their cultural heritage.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
