Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Reading Colonial Japan is an anthology of finely written essays that squarely speaks to the burgeoning scholarship of 'multiple Japans' . . . [T]he anthology exhibits perceptive as well as theoretically- and historically-informed scholarship. The collection would appeal to scholars whose work straddles several disciplines as it places various forms of text in their historical contexts." -- Ryota Nishino * New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies * "Reading Colonial Japan is a splendid collection of colonial writings in translation, paired with critical essays that address historical and theoretical concerns in original and engaging ways. It is an exceptional achievement and a truly important addition to cultural studies, Asian studies, history, and the study of colonialism/postcolonialism, migration, and translation." -- Sabine Fruhstuck, Professor of Modern Japanese Cultural Studies, University of California "Reading Colonial Japan illuminates Japan's seven decades of colonial rule (1869-1945) through well-written translations of Japanese primary sources from the colonial era and related analytical essays . . . This monograph is an excellent contribution to the fields of Asian studies and post-colonial studies." -- Elise Foxworth

Reseña del editor:

Coupling translated primary texts from Japan's colonial era with critical interpretive essays by scholars in Japanese Studies, Reading Colonial Japan: Text, Context, and Critique illuminates the specificities of Japan's many and varied colonial projects and elucidates how the case of Japan, -the only major non-western colonial power-, can complicate and expand our knowledge of colonialism(s).
