Friendly Connections

This book is so valuable; it moves the central focus of Quaker studies beyond an Anglo-American emphasis, highlights the role of women, and breaks new scholarly ground in a compelling way. The authors and editors are to be congratulated for such fine work. --Ben Pink Dandelion, University of Birmingham This excellent collection of essays gathers an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars from Japan and the United States to explore the partnerships that developed between Philadelphian and Japanese Quakers from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Strongly researched and clearly written, Friendly Connections offers important insights into this special relationship at the same time as it opens the door for further study. --Robynne Rogers Healey, Trinity Western University This book is so valuable; it moves the central focus of Quaker studies beyond an Anglo-American emphasis, highlights the role of women, and breaks new scholarly ground in a compelling way.
