When Emperor Hirohito announced defeat in a radio broadcast on 15th
August 1945, Japan was not merely a nation; it was a colossal
empire stretching from the tip of Alaska to the fringes of
Australia grown out of a colonial ideology that continued to
pervade East Asian society for years after the end of the Second
World War. In Overcoming Empire in Post-Imperial East Asia:
Repatriation, Redress and Rebuilding, Barak Kushner and Sherzod
Muminov bring together an international team of leading scholars to
explore the post-imperial history of the region. From international
aid to postwar cinema to chemical warfare, these essays all focus
on the aftermath of Japan's aggressive warfare and the new
international strategies which Japan, China, Taiwan, North and
South Korea utilised following the end of the war and the collapse
of Japan's empire. The result is a nuanced analysis of the
transformation of postwar national identities, colonial politics,
and the reordering of society in East Asia. With its innovative
comparative and transnational perspective, this book is essential
reading for scholars of modern East Asian history, the cold war,
and the history of decolonisation.
