Shirin Nezammafi and the unmaking of postcolonial Japan
This article takes up the short work of fiction Salam , written in Japanese in 2006 by Shirin Nezammafi, and deploys it as a primary source in the history of the Japanese present. Salam tells the tale of Layla, an Afghan migrant detained in and then expelled from Japan in 2001. The article argues that Salam exposes the unmaking of postcolonial Japan: if postcolonial Japan meant a territorial, sovereign nation-state built on hegemonic national myt…
On Global Time in Revolutionary Japan
This article reveals how Japanese anti-regime rebels in the mid-1870s deployed news of the Ottoman Empire and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 in a burgeoning national public sphere to justify and encourage violent revolution against the Meiji government. It focuses especially on commentary in Hyōron shinbun and its successor publications Chūgai hyōron and Bunmei shinshi , short-lived radical newspapers linked to what became the Kagoshima and Kumamo…

In this ground-breaking study, translated into English for the first time, Yuichiro Shimizu traces the rise of the modern Japanese bureaucracy from the Meiji Restoration through the early 20th…
Shot Through with Democracy
In 1948, Japanese authorities operating under directions from the US Occupation and the Japanese Ministry of Education tried to shut down independent Korean schools in Japan. Tens of thousands of civilians led by the League of Koreans in Japan streamed into the streets of Osaka and Kobe in April to protest. Hundreds raided prefectural headquarters, vandalized the buildings, and held government officials hostage. The Occupation and Japanese police…
The federalist papers of Ueki Emori
Ueki Emori (1857–1892), a prominent thinker and activist in the Japanese enlightenment of the late nineteenth century, denounced imperialism as a form of ‘greater barbarism’ and large-scale slavery and called for the unification of all nations in a global federation that would end empire-building and allow maximal individual freedom. Yet he also endorsed Japanese aggression and colonialism abroad. This paper examines the epistemological and ontol…
