Asian History Carnival #4
Welcome to the Asian History Carnival #4!
Several Asian history items - including the MIT furore - were included in History Carnival 30 earlier this week and I have not duplicated those here.
Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions!
Debates & Debunking
The Gavin Menzies issue refuses to die, and another crackpot book has just been released.
I am reminded very much of Erik Von Daniken, who was apparently once asked by a journalist, 'Do you really believe in aliens coming to earth?', and responded with 'Have I shown you my Rolls Royce?'.
Meanwhile, a TV drama in China has sparked off online debate
Discoveries
Anand on a curious note among Nehru's papers
Discussion
John Kennedy on how bloggers haven't been discussing the May Fourth movement
The loss of a traditional Cambodian musical form
Popular Gusts on Korea's April Revolution in 1960
Deconstructing the Long March posted at Simon World.
The use of magnets in traditional medicine in the Philippines at Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan
Chapati Mystery discusses how to teach an introduction to South Asia and which books to use.
Kerim at Savage Minds discusses a Taiwanese commercial and its somewhat problematic portrayal of Taiwan's aborigines as living in an eternally static past.
Meanwhile, at Frog in a Well, Konrad Lawson has been looking at a stabbing incident and world history, with regard to what authors choose to emphasise and what they don't.
Stefan and Dave at Blogging...Walk the Talk offers us evidence of the early development of Hong Kong identity.
Also, Stefan talks about the the influence on sailing technology and the history of trade in Singapore.
