John Green: Asian Response to Imperialism

Here's a new John Green video about the Asian responses to imperialism. Green bases much of the clip on Pankaj Mishra 's book, From Ruins to Empire: the the revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia.

Mishra examines imperialism through the eyes of a Chinese intellectual and a Muslim journalist at the turn of the 20th century and shows how "some of the most intelligent and sensitive people in the East responded to the encroachment of the West."
