In this first social and cultural history of Japan's construction of Manchuria, Louise Young offers an incisive examination of the nature of Japanese imperialism. Focusing on the domestic impact of Japan's activities in Northeast China between 1931 and 1945, Young considers "metropolitan effects" of empire building: how people at home imagined and experienced the empire they called Manchukuo. Contrary to the conventional assumption that a few army officers and bureaucrats were responsible for Japan's overseas expansion, Young finds that a variety of organizations helped to mobilize popular support for Manchukuo--the mass media, the academy, chambers of commerce, women's organizations, youth groups, and agricultural cooperatives--leading to broad-based support among diverse groups of Japanese. As the empire was being built in China, Young shows, an imagined Manchukuo was emerging at home, constructed of visions of a defensive lifeline, a developing economy, and a settler's paradise.

評分#一個包羅萬象的母題,正如為何彼時彼刻發生瞭這樣的事情,它的多個維度與原因,在讀完之後隻能發現自己陷入一種得象忘言的狀態。盜用lcy老師的話說:“但是意識到這一切的時候,就發現所有人都在非常理智地朝著那條盡頭是懸崖的死路一路狂飆。” 對“王道樂土”的期待或是承諾大概是這樣吧www

評分The chapters on agrarian imperialism and the co-opting of Japanese social democrats were especially good, as was the bit on trading patterns.
