Richly researched and subtly theorized, this multidisciplinary collection provides fresh and original perspectives on Transpacific connections and relationships. -- Vera Mackie, University of Wollongong This study of cross-hemispheric north-south connectedness presents a refreshingly new vision of the Asia-Pacific. Nine extremely well-documented and detailed micro-histories provide insight into the cacophonous and multi-layered entanglements that constitute the Transpacific as contested and alternative spatiality of the Asia-Pacific. The mobility lens is a powerful key to unlock the betwixt and between niches of transnational history, putting human encounters in science, religion, arts, military, and trade at the center of academic inquiry to capture the richness but too often unattended diversity of local responses to global dynamics. The book provides challenging questions to grand theories and will stimulate debates among scholars and students of modern history, transnationalism, mobility studies, and area studies. -- Wolfram Manzenreiter, University of Vienna
