Sidey Gulick 1860-1945 was "an advocate for international understanding and the best-known defender of the rights of Japanese Americans in the early 20th century.In 1887 he was posted by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Japan and was assigned a remote outpost in Matsumaya Kumamoto prefecture. In the years that followed he became an admirer of Japanese culture and learned to read write and speak Japanese fluently. In 1906 he was named professor of Systematic Theology at Doshisha University in Kyoto and a year later was also invited as lecturer at Imperial University in Kyoto.During this period Gulick became a notable interpreter of Japan for the West. In his book Evolution of the Japanese: Social and Psychic 1903 he reported on society religion and family life among the Japanese.He also presented himself as an opponent of imperialism and an advocate of independence for Asian countries.In 1913 due to poor health Gulick resigned his professorships and left Japan. Upon returning to the United States he was named secretary of the department of international justice and goodwill of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Through this position he sought to improve international understanding especially between the United States and Japan and deter war.In the wake of the enactment of California's anti-Asian alien land law he threw himself into the immigration question and distinguished himself as a defender of Japanese Americans. Gulick called for just treatment of all aliens and immigrants regardless of their race color or religion" Densho Encyclopedia. In this book he addresses and attempts to dispel common American misconceptions about the Japanese writing in the Foreword "It is hoped that this brief statement concerning widely circulated falsehoods may serve as an antidote for the poison" of anti-Japanese propaganda.
