Reviews
"This study of the relation between the national and the modern in 'Ansei-treaty era Japan' is a bracing revision of late nineteenth-century intellectual history...This illuminating book not only criticizes the field but does something about it." - Journal of Japanese Studies "Drawing heavily on analysis from post-colonial studies, Japan and the Specter of Imperialism gives a novel account of the relationship between Western imperialism and the spaces of Japanese national political cultures. The strength of this work lies in its analysis of the debates on what constituted a nation. These debates raged across a broad set of disciplines (literature, philosophy, social sciences, art, ethics), colonizing the imagination via the production of knowledge about history, peoples and places, whilst simultaneously contributing to the formation of an oppressive and territorially aggressive Japanese nation-state." - Journal of Asian Studies, "This study of the relation between the national and the modern in 'Ansei-treaty era Japan' is a bracing revision of late nineteenth-century intellectual history...This illuminating book not only criticizes the field but does something about it."

Introduction The Ansei Treaties and the Specter of Imperialism John Luther Long's Madame Butterfly and Imperial Domesticity The Science of Making Men: Moral Fitness for Global Competition Imperial Aesthetics and the State in Meiji Japan Aesthetics and the Moral Capital of the Family State Liberal Governmentality and Melodramatic Resistance in Ozaki Koyo's Konjiki yasha Haga Yaichi's Institution of Classical Japanese Literature: National Community, Governmentality, and Colonial Domesticity
Synopsis
Japan and the Specter of Imperialism examines competing Japanese responses to the late nineteenth century unequal treaty regime as a confrontation with liberal imperialism, including the culture and gender politics of U.S. territorial expansion into the Pacific. The book examines how both the unequal treaties and Japanese legal reform served to impose and then incorporate the logic of market capitalism within a distinctly Japanese social order. It reveals that competing concepts of domesticity in figured centrally in naturalizing capitalism in Japan and rationalizing Japan's own expansion. The unequal treaty regime is situated as a precursor of contemporary neoliberal practices such as economic development zones and U.S. status of forces agreements., Japan and the Specter of Imperialism examines competing Japanese responses to the late nineteenth century unequal treaty regime as a confrontation with liberal imperialism, including the culture and gender politics of US territorial expansion into the Pacific.
