Becoming Brazilian to Be Japanese
Assimilation makes new members of a group by changing particular characteristics of non-members to reflect the fundamentals of collective belonging. Gaining the qualities for inclusion in one community typically involves losing at least some features that confer acceptance in another.

This ideological significance made the eradication ofhiropona leading public issue, mobilizing the Japanese government, medical establishment, and social actors such as educat…
Legitimating Empire, Legitimating Nation
Through a case study of scientific research on opium addiction in early twentieth-century Manchuria, the epicenter of the global narcotic economy, I trace the changing ways in which colonial medicine was used to legitimate Japanese imperialism. From a justification of empire, research on addiction was transformed into a source of validation for the Manchukuo nation-state. Distinctive practices, including the establishment of local, world-class la…
Abstinent Nation, Addicted Empire
During Japan’s Meiji period (1868–1912), policymakers launched an ambitious campaign to build a rich and strong state, distinct from a supine and inferior “Orient.” The exclusion of the opium trade formed the basis for the depiction of Japan as an abstinent nation, fundamentally different from, and superior to, the “addicted” polities of Asia. But when Japan acquired its first colony, Taiwan, in 1895, the drug-free nation found itself ruling a la…
