Flaherty authors book chapter | Flaherty authors book chapter | | 9/30/2022 4:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Darryl Flaherty</strong>, associate professor of history, is the author of
a book chapter written in Japanese analyzing the 250th anniversary of

manabu, kako, genzai, shōrai no gurōbaru-ka),” is part of <em>Lectures on Meiji History: Global Research Edition, </em>edited by Takii Kazuhiro<em> </em>(Meiji-shi kōgi: gurōbaru kenkyū-hen), Tokyo: Chikuma Shobō, 2022.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=218 | |
