How can a post-national Japanese Studies be defined? How might the
postwar myth of a monoethnic Japan be historicized? Can new forms
of nationalism be effectively criticized by evoking a spirit of
nationalist democracy? This book contains a series of
groundbreaking essays by major Japanese and American scholars
seeking to locate "Japan" beyond the geographical and ideological
boundaries established post-1945 and under the Cold War. Included
are essays on such iconic cultural figures as Maruyama Masao and
Takamura Kōtarō; on the impact of colonialism on prewar theories
of race, language, and multi-culturalism; on gender and
nationalism; on the critique of culturalist notions of the "native
speaker" and "mother tongue," and on Asian nationalisms in the era
of globalization.
