Publisher's Synopsis
The papers in these volumes reflect the exchange of scholarly communication that took place on the campus of the University of Toronto, August 19-25, 1990, at the 33rd International Congress of Asian and North African Studies. More than 500 papers were delivered at the Congress, covering aspects of contact in an area extending from Morocco to Japan, and stretching in time from prehistory to the present era. The papers included in these volumes, with their wide geographical and disciplinary range, and long term span, reflect the comprehensive nature of the Congress.
