African samurai : the true story of Yasuke, a legendary black warrior in feudal Japan / Thomas Lockley and Geoffrey Girard. by Lockley, Thomas, author. Toronto, Ontario, Canada : Hanover Square Press, [2019] Subjects Yasuke (Black Samuraï)   Black people -- Japan -- Biography.   Samurai -- Japan -- History.   Japan -- History -- Azuchi-Momoyama period, 1568-1603. ISBN:  9781335141026 (hardcover) : 1335141022 (hardcover) Description:  380 pages : illustrations, map ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Kidnapped as a child, Yasuke had ended up a servant and bodyguard to the head of the Jesuits in Asia, with whom he traversed India and China learning multiple languages as he went. His arrival in Kyoto, however, literally caused a riot. Most Japanese people had never seen an African man before, and many of them saw him as the embodiment of the black-skinned Buddha. Among those who were drawn to his presence was Lord Nobunaga, head of the most powerful clan in Japan, who made Yasuke a samurai in his court. In the four hundred years since, Yasuke has been known in Japan largely as a legendary, perhaps mythical figure. In telling his story, Lockley and Girard offer a new perspective on race in world history and a vivid portrait of life in medieval Japan"--adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked out 06/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked out 06/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 952.02409 Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Yasuke Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
