This is an interesting book, one that encourages the reader to ponder the past and future of Japanese and Asian studies. Barak Kushner, one of the editors, launched a six-year project funded by the European Research Council in March 2013, entitled ‘The Dissolution of the Japanese Empire and the Struggle for Legitimacy in Postwar East Asia, 1945–1965’. The first volume to emerge from the project was The Dismantling of Japan’s Empire in East Asia: De-imperialization, Postwar Legitimation and Imperial Afterlife (2017), which Kushner co-edited with Sherzod Muminov. This book, edited by the same team, is the second. In the introduction to this book Muminov discusses its aims and the context in which it took shape.
