Opis

This edited collection brings to the fore the interconnectedness of Japan's history with the wider Asian-Pacific region and the world. The essays from professors and early career academics cover a range of topics that examine Japan's transnational history through the themes of empire, migration, and social movements. Together the essays examine the place of Japan's modern history within the multitude of its transnational connections to its surrounding region and the wider world and focus on the flow and movement of people, ideas, and political projects.

Recenzje

"All of the chapters contribute to a dynamic picture of modern Japan as a maritime empire and part of a globalizing world. Some may be of greater interest to specialists in Japanese history than others, but all are informative and readily approachable for the general reader. As a whole, Transnational Japan as History provides an excellent snapshot of the most innovative research being done today in this exciting new field." (Jordan Sand, The International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 28 (4), 2016)
