The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism: Malthusianism and Trans-Pacific Migration, 1868–1961

Autor Sidney Xu Lu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iul 2019
This innovative study demonstrates how Japanese empire-builders invented and appropriated the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific. Lu defines this overpopulation discourse as 'Malthusian expansionism'. This was a set of ideas that demanded additional land abroad to accommodate the supposed surplus people in domestic society on the one hand and emphasized the necessity of national population growth on the other. Lu delineates ideological ties, human connections and institutional continuities between Japanese colonial migration in Asia and Japanese migration to Hawaii and North and South America from 1868 to 1961. He further places Malthusian expansionism at the center of the logic of modern settler colonialism, challenging the conceptual division between migration and settler colonialism in global history.

Recenzii

'Brilliantly researched and conceptually sophisticated, this book offers a new interpretation of Malthusianism and will have a huge impact on the way we think about Japanese migration while complicating the divide between studies of the Japanese empire and Japanese immigration to the US, Hawaii, Latin America and other locations in Asia-Pacific.' Takashi Fujitani, University of Toronto
'The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism offers a bold new synthesis of the histories of Japanese imperialism and diaspora. It shows vividly how Japanese ideologues from the late nineteenth century straight through until after World War II were driven by anxieties about overpopulation and by the ideology of race competition.' Jordan Sand, Georgetown University, Washington DC
'Sidney Lu's wonderful new book delves into the history of Japanese migration and its relation to the quest for power on the world stage. It's the story of a nation's fixation with overpopulation: how Malthusianism gained traction in the 1860s and why it flamed out in the 1950s. This is an important addition to the literature on Japanese empire and settler colonialism.' Louise Young, University of Wisconsin, Madison
'Lu (Michigan State Univ.) presents a well-written, innovative study of how Japanese empire builders invented and promoted the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific between the early Meiji and post-WW II periods … Including stories from Japanese who participated in this movement to the far corners of the Pacific Rim, this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in modern Japanese history and transnational colonialism.' M. D. Ericson, Choice
'I recommend without reserve to scholars and students of Japanese imperial expansionism and trans-Pacific migration, as well as any reader interested in the history and policies of modern Japan.' Hugues Canuel, Global Maritime History
'As Lu's erudite book reveals, the shift in colonial imaginations expressed in the characters offers a distinctively Japanese inflection to theoretical understandings of colonial migration-one that is best understood in its transpacific manifestations.' Martin Dusinberre, Project Muse
