Memories of the Japanese Empire: Comparison of the Colonial and Decolonisation Experiences in Taiwan and Nan’yo-gunto (Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia)
Description:The contributors to this book examine and compare the colonial and decolonisation experiences of people in Taiwan and Nan'yō Guntō - Micronesia - who underwent periods of rule by the Greater Japanese Empire. Early anthropological theory of western imperialist countries focussed on transforming savage cultures by ruling in a high-handed manner. When Japan asserted its hegemony through sudden colonisation, its culture was perceived as inferior to the civilisation indices previously experienced by those it ruled. How did these ruled nations construct their cultural and historical awareness in areas where the strategic design of Japan's civilising mission was not convincing? After the end of World War II many emerging countries in the Third World achieved independence through various negotiations or struggles with their former colonial powers and built new relationships with their erstwhile rulers. However, after Japan's defeat, Taiwan and Nan'yō Guntō became ruled by new foreign governments. How did Japan's reign and transplanted Japanese culture affect the formation of historical awareness and cultural construction of present day communities in these two regions? A fascinating ethnographic insight into the affects of empire and colonisation on the historic imagination, that will be of great interest to historical anthropologists of Taiwan, Japan and the Pacific.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
