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.

讀瞭一半, Empire building comprehensively influenced the metropolis; Manchukuo is a product of Japan's modernization.

評分花瞭一個月,中間斷斷續續,有幾章看得比較快,總算把Louise Young這本講述日占滿洲(國)時期曆史的巨作啃完瞭。關於滿洲國曆史的書看得還不多,所以暫時不清楚這是不是第一本提齣“總動員帝國“(total empire)概念的書,但讀完後也是被Young對曆史的縝密的梳理以及對曆史原因冷靜的追問所摺服。正如導語裏介紹的,全書主要是從軍事、經濟及移民三個角度展開,而按照結尾處的總結,全書又是著眼於大眾傳媒、政治、財閥與軍隊、烏托邦帝國、國傢對經濟社會的乾預以及政府機構對於帝國建設的動員等六部分展開。末尾,Young對現代性與日本帝國主義的關係也有淺嘗輒止的論述。而對於這段曆史的曆史性,作者也補充瞭世界大恐慌和中國國內民族抵抗運動的背景。總結就是,一個漸進式的沒有迴頭路的“總動員帝國”。
評分1998年費正清奬。作為本書的核心部分:日殖在滿洲國與在颱灣和朝鮮行為的對比隻在農業等部分稍有體現。從而並沒有很好論證所謂“完全帝國”的特殊性。但是對於帝國統一體下各利益集團的分裂所作的分析為帝國研究帶來新的視角。更讓人意識到瞭德納粹與日軍國所有的不同的邏輯。
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
