"Tropics of Savagery" is an incisive and provocative study of the
figures and tropes of 'savagery' in Japanese colonial culture.
Through a rigorous analysis of literary works, ethnographic
studies, and a variety of other discourses, Robert Thomas Tierney
demonstrates how imperial Japan constructed its own identity in
relation both to the West and to the people it colonized. By
examining the representations of Taiwanese aborigines and
indigenous Micronesians in the works of prominent writers, he shows
that the trope of the savage underwent several metamorphoses over
the course of Japan's colonial period - violent headhunter to be
subjugated, ethnographic other to be studied, happy primitive to be
exoticized, and hybrid colonial subject to be assimilated.
