The Cultural Cold War: Moral Re-Armament Movement in East Asia (Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard University)

Description

How did the religious-political organization Moral Re-Armament (MRA) develop in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan during the Cold War era? What role did the U.S. play in supporting the movement’s anti-communist propaganda in “free world” areas of East Asia? Research examining different manifestations of the same movement in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan reveals much about the ideological warfare in East Asia during the 1950s-70s and helps us better understand the history of the Cold War.
