The Manchurian saviour? Re-examining the 'Otpor Incident' in imperial and contemporary Japan
In recent years, the Japanese public has hailed a new national hero, the late Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichirō. Unlike other notable military figures of his era, Higuchi's heroism is unconventional, if not unique. Despite playing a leading role in the defence of Hokkaido against the Soviet Red Army in 1945, it is humanitarian efforts that have cemented Higuchi's lasting legacy in public memory. Presently, a plethora of publications, TV documen…
The Covid-19 Pandemic and Routine Prenatal Care
Introduction
Several years ago, Pat Ebrey, founding editor of this journal, solicited the board for ideas for special issues. I have long been interested in the historiography of different national Sinological traditions and suggested a series of essays on this topic from a host of such historiographical backgrounds. Pat agreed and enthusiastically supported the idea. I had spoken about such a topic in a vague, roundabout manner some twenty years earlier with…
Traditions of East Asian Travel
Although the topic of travel and travel writing by Chinese and Japanese writers has recently begun to attract more interest among scholars in the West, it remains largely virgin terrain with vast tracts awaiting scholarly examination. This book offers insights into how East Asians traveled in the early modern and modern periods, what they looked for, what they felt comfortable finding, and the ways in which they wrote up their impressions of thes…
Recent Japanese Studies of Modern Chinese History
Chinese Studies in History contains unabridged translations of Chinese sources, primarily scholarly journals and collections of articles published in book form. The aim of the journal is to present the more important Chinese studies in this field in the light of the interest of those who are professionally concerned with it.
Gregory Smits. Maritime Ryukyu, 1050–1650
Maritime Ryukyu, 1050–1650 is an extraordinary book, the result of many years of work in often extremely difficult sources, yet author Gregory Smits writes clearly and does not shirk the need to come to (sometimes tentative) conclusions. If you have had a view of the subject matter but have not studied it closely, you are likely to come away with an entirely different one after reading this book. It is nonetheless fairly technical and needs to be…

Research dialogues on the intellectual public sphere in China (Part II)
Mapping the intellectual public sphere in China today
The papers in this research dialogue section are the product of a project that examines intellectual life in China since the 1990s - chiefly the efforts by academic public intellectuals to rethink China's past, present, and future in light of the excesses of Mao's revolution, the challenges emerging from reform, and the rise of China to the status of world economic power. Chinese scholars, having benefited from China's openness to the world and t…
The Nanking Atrocity and Chinese Historical Memory
Japan's Competing Modernities
Scholars, Japanese and non-Japanese alike, have studied the greater Taisho era (1900-1930) within the framework of Taisho demokurashii (democracy). While this concept has proved useful, students of the period in more recent years have sought alternative ways of understanding the late Meiji-Taisho period. This collection of essays, each based on new research, offers original insights into various aspects of modern Japanese cultural history from "m…
The Teleology of the Modern Nation-State
Japan and China did not begin to emerge as unified political entities until the nineteenth century. Yet scholars and politicians persistently refer to "Japan" and "China" in discussions of earlier periods, as if the modern nation-state had long been established in these regions. Joshua Fogel here brings together essays by eight renowned East Asian scholars to demonstrate why this oversight distorts our historical analysis and understanding of bot…
The Truth Hurts
Vera Schwarcz offers a penetrating examination of the concept and meaning of "truth" in China (antiquity to contemporary) and elsewhere (primarily in the Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible to contemporary thinkers). Highly critical of the sharp turn toward cultural relativism which abandons the search for truth in the name of everyone having his or her own situated truths, she examines in particular how scholars, philosophers, and writers li…
Evelyn S. Rawski. Early Modern China and Northeast Asia
It has been a long time coming, but finally the world of Western scholarship has produced a superb history of China that does not treat that subject as sui generis. For far too long, we have consciously or otherwise allowed ourselves to be co-opted into the game of Chinese nationalist historiography. Evelyn S. Rawski’s new book is now the most succinct statement demonstrating what we would naturally assume about virtually any other history—it has…
The Emergence of the Modern Sino-Japanese Lexicon
It has long been known that the modern Chinese language inherited numerous terms from Japanese and that Japanese coined many of those terms in the last decades of the 19th century. These seven essays address the actual processes by which a discreet number of terms came into being, how they outdistanced competitors, and the persons and texts involved in the process. Rather than relying on received tropes of translation heritage, these essays delve…

“Shanghai-Japan”
At noon on december 3, 1937, a Japanese military parade—perhaps in ironic imitation of other processions by foreigners in Shanghai—began marching down Nanjing Road through the foreign concessions in Shanghai and along the Bund. In the lead was a military police (kenpeitai) car escorted by mounted troops bearing sabers at the hilt. They were followed by a large infantry detachment, machine-gunners, and finally by artillerymen. Japanese aircraft fl…
Between China and Japan
Over the past thirty-five years, Joshua Fogel has pioneered the study of Sino-Japanese cultural and political relations—understood as the intersections of the histories of these two countries. This volume brings together many of his essays and reviews in this new field. For a variety of reasons discussed within, scholars have been reluctant to look at these two nation's historical connections, either through comparative analysis or actual interac…
The Cultural Dimensions of Sino-Japanese Relations
Presents the perceptions that the Chinese and the Japanese have of each other, and the information that helped to fuel those perceptions. There are two sections: China in Japan, debating the Asiatic Mode of Production and kyodotai; and Japan in China, covering the Manchurian Railway

These essays and reviews by Joshua Fogel, written over the past 35 years, focus on the cultural and political interactions between China and Japan. The represent pioneering efforts to assess these two histories together
Just a Scholar
One of China's premier historians of the twentieth century, Zhou Yiliang (1913-2001) experienced many of the tumultuous events of that century. Born into a wealthy family, his father saw to his pre-college education through a range of tutors which afforded him not only a profound traditional Chinese education but a modern one as well--including virtually native fluency in English and Japanese. He later earned degrees in Beijing before leaving to …

The Recent Boom in Shanghai Studies
Since the mid-1980s there has been a great deal of scholarly interest focused on the history of modern Shanghai. In association with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, both the University of California at Berkeley and Cornell University were recipients of Luce Foundation grants that brought Shanghai scholars to North America, resulting in an outpouring of books and articles. In addition, there has been a simultaneous surge of interest among…

Race and Class in Chinese Historiography
When the Manchus came [to China] they killed our ancestors, violated our women, occupied the territory of Han race, made their vile, comtemptible race into a noble class, for generations enfeoffed kings and what's more sent some of their base race to be stationed in strategic spots in each of the provinces which they called garrisons, and they guarded us Han people as one would guard thieves—this was indeed despicable, and still they craved to be…

Interpreting History in Sino-Japanese Relations
Sino-Japanese relations were beset by a series of political controversies throughout the 1980s. These related to matters of past history and in particular Japan's record of aggression in China during World War II. The attempt by the Japanese Education Ministry in 1982 to downplay atrocities through the re-writing of school textbooks created a diplomatic storm. This book examines the decision-making processes of the Chinese and Japanese government…

History and Will
When the Cultural Revolution broke out in 1966, China scholars the world over were amazed and bewildered. Most of the general theories of Chinese politics were instantly scrapped. How was one to assess the willful destruction of the “historical arm of the proletariat” by its leader? These and numerous other questions plagued the China field (in no way inhibiting the virtual tsunami of writing on the GPCR), and as many explanations resulted as the…

Perspectives on a Changing China
To Reform China
In the early decades of this century, Naitō Konan (1866-1934) became Japan's leading authority on Chinese history and contemporary Chinese affairs. His early education in Kangaku (Chinese studies) had emphasized the Neo-Confucian tradition of jitsugaku or the practical application of learning, a broad trend in Japan then and one subscribed to by Naitō's family. Thus, before his arrival in Tokyo in late 1887, Naitō was already deeply concerned wit…

Naito Konan's periodization of Chinese history is responsible for shaping the twentieth-century Western view of China. Naito was a journalist in the vibrant Meiji press for twenty years, during which he became recognized as Japan's leading Sinologist. He then assumed a chair in China Studies at Kyoto University, where he taught for twenty years, remaining all the while a prolific writer on public affairs. Joshua Fogel's biography treats Naito hol…

Nakae Ushikichi in China
In 1914, Nakeae Ushikichi (1889-1942), gifted son of the famous Nakae Ch min (1847-1901) and graduate of Tokyo University's Faculty of Law, left behind the opportunities open to him in Japan and went to China. He worked briefly for the South Manchurian Railway and then in the Yuan Shih-k'ai government, but a personal crisis in 1919 turned him suddenly to a life of rigorous scholarship and social criticism. He spent most of his adult life in Pekin…
