Pressestimmen
"Young's extraordinary book will force historians of Japan to rethink their treatment of Manchukuo. Young's study also joins the new comparative scholarship on imperialism, which analyzes its transforming power not only on the colony but also on the metropole. She has thus created an essential work of scholarship for students of comparative imperialist history."--Parks M. Coble, "American Historical Review
Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Einleitungssatz
Today the words "Empire of Japan" evoke multiple meanings: one set of images for former colonial subjects, another for former enemies in the Pacific War, and yet another for the Japanese themselves. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is essential reading for any serious student of the Japanese Empire, as well as anyone interested in the history of colonialism or Chinese-Japanese relations. Young shows that Japan's occupation of Manchuria and the subsequent transformation into Manchukuo may have been initially driven by the Imperial Army, but became an effort supported by various other political and economic agencies. She also describes how a perceived Japanese mission of improving fellow Asian nations may have been sincere, but was ultimately destructive. TOTAL EMPIRE is best read in conjunction with THE ABACUS AND THE SWORD, about Japan's colonial relationship with Korea. Military historians will find Young's book weak on details of the military administration, but that doesn't seriously detract from the social and cultural historical value of the work.

Uneven but interesting
6. Juni 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This book seems to lack a strong focus. I don't know whether the author wanted to talk political maneuvering, culture, imperialism, patriotism, etc. However, there's some decent stuff to be found within its pages on the specific Japanese experience of Manchukuo and how it was justified in its era and thought about after the war, which makes it a sight better than the other, incomprehensible recent study Sovereignty and Authenticity: Manchukuo and the East Asian Modern.

Fascinating and strange
11. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This was a very strange book. The subject matter is overwhelmingly focused on Japan, not on Manchukuo at all, which is what I hoped for, but was nonetheless very interesting, parts of it much more so than others. The writing was not exceptional, although the author clearly has unparalleled knowledge of the subject matter. Some chapters in the early and later parts of the book were much more interesting than a great deal of the middle, but there was something in every section of note. I really don't feel like the themes and subject matter can be seriously summarized at all here; I would simply suggest reading it if you are interesting in imperialism, fascism, or Japanese history.
