International politics of the defeated nation
Shimizu Ikutarō and the Precarious Coexistence of Progressivism and Conservatism
Shimizu Ikutarō (1907–1988) is one of the most controversial postwar Japanese intellectuals. His transition from the icon of the Anpo protests to an advocate of a nuclear Japan has been considered an intellectual conversion (tenkō). Instead of revisiting the notion of conversion, this study shows that his wartime thoughts—bottom-up nationalism in particular—continued to influence Shimizu’s postwar writings and activism on both conservative and li…
An Insider’s Response to Racism
Abe Fortas (1910–1982) has been best known for service during his legal career as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States for four years from 1965 to 1969. His supporters have characterized his life as a lawyer who supported and defended the American Civil Rights Movement during the tumultuous periods of the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. However, observers of his career have paid little attention to the fact that Fo…

He did so at a time when Japanese immigrant communities showed various responses to Japan’s becoming an Asian empire between the two world wars. This article shows how a Japanese immigrant journalist utilized minority politics to represent Japanese immigrant communities in the United States. Cooperating with the Japanese government…
The “Korea Problem”
Beginning in the late 1930s, the notion of the East Asian Community gained currency among Japanese intellectuals as Imperial Japan attempted to justify its invasion of China and colonization of its Asian neighbors. The East Asian Community was characterized by Japanese intellectuals’ new logic of an East Asian empire that incorporated Chinese and colonial subjects and was led by Japan. Moritani Katsumi was a converted Marxist social scientist who…
The paradox of racial liberation
Racism in the Second World War has often been confined by Western historians to atrocities on the European continent, the Holocaust in particular. However, it is also important to note that from the very beginning the US government viewed the Asia-Pacific War as a racial conflict between Asians and the white race. Under such explicit racial prejudice and policies against the Japanese, many non-white intellectuals and activists in the United State…
