Transwar Asia: Ideology, Practices, and Institutions, 1920-1960: SOAS Studies in Modern and Contemporary Japan

Editat de Dr Reto Hofmann, Associate Professor Max Ward
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 ian 2022
This volume considers the possibilities of the term 'transwar' to understand the history of Asia from the 1920s to the 1960s. Recently, scholars have challenged earlier studies that suggested a neat division between the pre- and postwar or colonial/postcolonial periods in the national histories of East Asia, instead assessing change and continuity across the divide of war. Taking this reconsideration further, Transwar Asia explores the complex processes by which prewar and colonial ideologies, practices, and institutions from the 1920s and 1930s were reconfigured during World War II and, crucially, in the two decades that followed, thus shaping the Asian Cold War and the processes of decolonization and nation state-formation. With contributions covering the transwar histories of China, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan, the book addresses key themes such as authoritarianism, militarization, criminal rehabilitation, market controls, labor-regimes, and anti-communism. A transwar angle, the authors argue, sheds new light on the continuing problems that undergirded the formation of postwar nation-states and illuminates the political legacies that still shape the various regions in Asia up to the present.

Recenzii

Pursuing a transwar perspective, both as analytic method and alternative history, these essays cross the alleged rupture of 1945 to show the connections across time from the 1920s to the 1960s and across space in the entangled nations and empires in Asia and beyond. Their fascinating topics and compelling arguments bring new depth to the term "transwar".
This volume injects us with an effective dose of reformulation, recalibration and resetting in our understanding of twentieth-century global Asia. The spaciotemporality of 'transwar Asia' as method provides a long durée perspective on knowledge-, practice- and institution-formation within competing imperialisms. It is a welcome and timely volume that all students of modern global history would benefit from reading.
Rather than thinking in terms of legacies, the editors highlight the postwar afterlives in a refreshing way that takes into consideration the connections across time... [T]he book will be of interest to scholars and graduate students interested in alternative and postcolonial conceptions of 'Trans-Asia', as a way to rescue research on the continent from area studies.
