This book aims to review the postwar interactions of Japan with
Asia. The Japanese factory production system, kaizen, has been
shared in Asia. This book collects more diverse topics from
Japan’s interactions with China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and
Hong Kong. Each chapter provides details on how the business,
political, and cultural interactions enrich both sides. The
findings are then used to suggest the possibility of a de-facto
Asian Community and Japan’s role in the present and
 post-COVID-19 world.

How did the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution affect everyone's
lives? Why did people re/negotiate their identities to adopt
revolutionary roles and duties? How did people, who lived with
different self-understandings and social relations, inevitably
acquire and practice revolutionary identities, each in their own
light?This book plunges into the contexts of these concerns to seek
different relations that reveal the Revolution's different
meanings. Furthermore, this book shows that scholars of the
Cultural Revolution encountered emotional and intellectual
challenges as they cared about the real people who owned an
identity resource that could trigger an imagined thread of
solidarity in their minds.The authors believe that the Revolution's
magnitude and pervasive scope always resulted in individualized
engagements that have significant and differing consequences for
those struggling in their micro-context. It has impacted a future
with unpredictable collective implications in terms of ethnicity,
gender, memory, scholarship, or career. The Cultural Revolution is,
therefore, an evolving relation beneath the rise of China that will
neither fade away nor sanction integrative paths.
Colonial legacies in knowledge production affect the way the world
is represented and understood today. However, the subject is rarely
attended. The book, Colonial Legacies and Contemporary Studies of
China and Chineseness: Unlearning Binaries, Strategizing Self, is
about the colonial construction of intellectual perspectives of the
colonized population in terms of the latter's approach to China and
Chineseness in the modern world. Relying on the available oral
histories of senior China scholars primarily in Asia, authors from
various postcolonial and colonial sites present these multiple
routs of self-constitution and reconstitution through the use of
China and Chineseness as category. The revealed manipulation of
this third category, romantically as well as antagonistically, is
easier than straightforward self-reflection for us all to accept
that, coming to identities and relations, none, even subaltern, is
politically innocent or capable of epistemological monopoly.
Through comparative studies, it shows a way of self-understanding
that does not always require discursive construction of border or
cultural consumption of any specific 'other'.With US-China rivalry
possibly lasting for decades, this book offers extremely rich and
contrasting practices from the subaltern worlds for anyone in a
quest for humanist alternatives. This interdisciplinary and
transnational project contributes to post-colonial studies,
cultural studies, international relations, China and Chinese
studies, and the comparative histories of East Asia, Southeast
Asia, and South Asia.
