Major concerns of this course will be: the characteristics of Japan’s nation building; the formation of imperial nationalism; the development of capitalism and its impact on Japanese society; the structure and transformation of Japanese colonialism; the emergence of pan-Asianism; and war and democracy in modern Japan. We will study these themes from both empirical and theoretical perspectives. A basic knowledge of modern Japanese history is helpful, but not required.
