''Rev. Joseph Hardy Neesima: A Maker Of New Japan'' is a biographical work by Jerome Dean Davis that chronicles the life and legacy of Joseph Hardy Neesima, a significant figure in the modernization of Japan during the Meiji era. Neesima was born in 1843 in a small village in Japan, but after converting to Christianity, he fled to the United States in search of education and religious freedom. He eventually became the first Japanese person to graduate from Amherst College and went on to establish the Doshisha University, one of Japan’s first Christian universities. The book explores Neesima’s life, his struggles as a minority in both the US and Japan, and his role in shaping the future of Japan through education and Christianity. Through extensive research, Davis provides a comprehensive account of Neesima’s life, drawing on personal letters, historical documents, and interviews with his descendants. The book offers insight into the cultural and political landscape of 19th century Japan and the impact of Western influence on the country’s development. Overall, ''Rev. Joseph Hardy Neesima: A Maker Of New Japan'' is a compelling biography that sheds light on a pivotal figure in Japanese history and the enduring legacy of his work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
