Japanese Diplomats on the Move: December 1941 to September 1942
Introduction: The Asia Pacific War Through Border-Crossing Mobilities
Human migration and mobilities in Europe during World War II are well documented, yet there remains work to be done on the Asia Pacific region, where there were also large numbers of displaced persons. Further, as transnational and transimperial research has shown, other forms of mobilities, such as ideas and knowledge, also need to be considered. This special issue on border-crossing mobilities in the Asia Pacific War aims to redress such omissi…

The Evacuation and Repatriation of ‘British Indians’ Resident in Japan, 1940–42
In 1940, the Indian population resident in Japan was estimated at over 500. With the potential for war with Japan increasing, the British embassy in Tokyo advised locally resident British subjects to leave in October 1940 and again in February 1941. However, some, including a number of Indians, chose not to leave. This article considers the evacuation of the Indian population from Japan before December 1941 as well as those who departed as part o…
Forgotten Forced Migrants of War: Civilian Internment of Japanese in British India, 1941–6
The Second World War saw extraordinary movements of people, before, during and afterwards. Civilian internees are rarely considered part of this, and especially not those in South and Southeast Asia. Between December 1941 and May 1946, nearly 2700 Japanese civilians and colonial subjects from across Japan’s empire were interned in camps in British India. Mainly residents of Singapore and Malaya, these civilians were arrested and transferred by sh…
National’ and ‘Official’ Languages Across the Independent Asia-Pacific
Between November 2018 and 2020, residents of New Caledonia will have three opportunities to vote on whether to become an independent state. Residents of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville will vote on the same issue in June 2019. Should the residents of either territory vote for independence, the issue of whether a language shall be designated the national and / or official language for the new state will arise. If the decision is to designate…

The Internment and Repatriation of the Japanese-French Nationals Resident in New Caledonia, 1941–1946
The pre-1941 Japanese population of New Caledonia was decimated by the French administration’s decision to transfer most of the Japanese residents to Australia for internment at the outbreak of the Asia-Pacific theatre of the Second World War. Among the men transferred to Australia were ten men who had been formerly French nationals but had lost their French nationality by decree. The French Administration’s ability to denationalise and intern an…

When Empire Comes Home: Repatriation and Reintegration in Postwar Japan
Japanese Government Policy and the Reality of the Lives of the zanry? fujin
This paper examines the Japanese government’s changing response to the return of the zanry? fujin to Japan and the gap between the Japanese Government’s assumption that the zanry? fujin had chosen to remain in China and the reality of their lives. The zanry? fujin are women aged 13 years and over at the time of the Russian invasion of Manchuria on 9 August 1945 who, for whatever reason, did not undergo repatriation at the end of the war. Due to t…
Japaneseness, multiple exile and the Japanese citizens abandoned in China
This paper considers the case of the zanryū koji and zanryū fujin—Japanese women and children abandoned in China through war—and their lives in both China and Japan as conditions of exile. It examines how their separation from the Japanese mainland meant that they were unable to develop the markers of Japaneseness, and the consequences of this for their return to Japan, where they continue to live in a second form of exile
Word and Image in Japanese Cinema
Word and Image in Japanese Cinema examines the complex relationship between the temporal order of linguistic narrative and the spatiality of visual spectacle, a dynamic that has played an important role in much of Japanese film. The tension between the controlling order of words and the liberating fragmentation of images has been an important force that has shaped modern culture in Japan and that has also determined the evolution of its cinema. I…
