Abstract

The article discusses two books, "Eastward of Good Hope: Early America in a Dangerous World" by Dane A. Morrison and "Trading Freedom: How Trade with China Defined Early America" by Dael A. Norwood, which examine the influence of globalization and trade with Asia, particularly China, on the early United States. Both books offer a U.S.-centric perspective on globalization and explore the impact of transnational forces on bilateral relationships. They highlight American fears and prejudices towards Asia and the Pacific, shaping their narratives and attitudes. "Trading Freedom" by Strother E. Roberts focuses on the historical significance of the China trade in early American history, emphasizing its role in shaping trade, foreign affairs, and domestic policy. The book also explores the impact of the Opium War, the transcontinental railroad, and debates over Chinese immigration on American attitudes towards China. Overall, "Trading Freedom" provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the United States and China during this period. [Extracted from the article]
