Manchuria Under Japanese Dominion Shin'ichi Yamamuro. Translated by
Joshua A. Fogel "Long-awaited . . . well done . . . elegant . . .
timely."--"Journal of Japanese Studies" From 1932 until the end of
World War II, the Japanese established and maintained by bloody
rule a puppet regime in the Chinese region of Manchuria. This
region was composed of three northern provinces in China; the
puppet ruler was the last Chinese Emperor, Pu Yi, and this rich
industrial region was clearly coveted and managed by the Japanese
as a critical element in their imperial dominion. Yamamuro
Shin'ichi's extraordinary book rereads this occupation under new
light. The author shows that right-wing Japanese military and
civilian groups thought of construction in this sparsely populated
region as an effort to build a paradise on earth, with roots deep
in Asian traditions. At the same time, Chinese and Korean
populations in the region were abused by the Japanese military, and
many Japanese were deliberately misinformed about what was being
done in their name. Yamamuro examines the policies and events
unfolding on the ground during this time. With close attention to
the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans involved, and the links between
the military and the home islands, he offers his own overall
assessment of this distinctive instance of state-building. Making
use of numerous sources in Chinese and Japanese, from legal
documents and government decrees to memoirs and poetry, "Manchuria
Under Japanese Dominion" goes beyond rhetoric to provide a unique
assessment of the history of this period. Yamamuro Shin'ichi is
Professor of History and Politics at the Institute for Research in
the Humanities at Kyoto University. He is the author of numerous
books in Japanese, including "Questioning the Meaning of Modern
Japan" and "Representations of Mutual Understanding and
Misunderstanding Among Japan, China, and Korea." Joshua A. Fogel is
Professor of History at the University of California, Santa
Barbara. He is the author of many books, including "The Literature
of Travel in the Japanese Rediscovery of China" and editor of "The
Teleolology of the Nation State: Japan and China," also available
from the University of Pennsylvania Press. Encounters with Asia
