Reviews

Chung makes important and fascinating points with large implications about how states can overcome elements of national identity that emphasize the distinctiveness, and often superiority, of the state over relevant others. -Joslyn Barnhart, Wesleyan University . . . advances a novel, even counterintuitive, solution to a frustratingly enduring problem among Northeast Asia's states and, most especially for the United States since two of the three countries are its most important regional allies. -Bridget L. Coggins, University of California, Santa Barbara


""This intriguingly fresh idea—that national identify can serve as a pacifying rather than a divisive force—should be welcome news because it is highly unlikely that any of these regional powers will ever abandon their well-developed national pride. This book paves new paths forward for international relations in East Asia. Highly recommended."" —CHOICE * CHOICE * Winner: American Library Association (ALA) Choice Outstanding Academic Title * ALA Choice Outstanding Academic Title * ""Pride, Not Prejudice offers an innovative approach to the role of national identity and collective memory in east Asia. . . the book is a recommended read for students and scholars interested in east Asia and who are already familiar with social psychology."" —International Affairs -- Flavia Lucenti * International Affairs *
