Blanco -- Tropics of savagery : the culture of Japanese empire in comparative frame / by Robert Thomas Tierney -- Colonial project, national game : a history of baseball in Taiwan / by Andrew Morris.Tropics of Savagery is an incisive and provocative study of the figures and tropes of "savagery" in Japanese colonial culture. Through a rigorous analysis of literary works, ethnographic studies, and a variety of other discourses, Robert Thomas Tierney demonstrates how imperial Japan constructed its own identity in relation both to the West and to the people it colonized. By examining the representations of Taiwanese aborigines and indigenous Micronesians in the works of prominent writers, he shows that the trope of the savage underwent several metamorphoses over the course of Japan's colonial period--violent headhunter to be subjugated, ethnographic other to be studied, happy primitive to be exoticized, and hybrid colonial subject to be assimilated.Asia Pacific modern ;5.ImperialismHistoryIndigenous peoplesHistoryIndigenous peoplesPublic opinionPublic opinionJapanPopular cultureJapanHistoryJapanese literatureHistory and criticismColonies in literatureImperialism in literatureIndigenous peoples in literatureJapanColoniesHistoryaborigines.asia.asian expansion.colonial culture.colonial studies.colonial subjects.colonialism postcolonialism.comparative history.concept of savagery.ethnic otherness.ethnographers.ethnographic studies.exoticized peoples.famous writers.historians.historical.imperial japan.imperialism.indigenous peoples.japan scholars.japanese colonialism.japanese culture.japanese empire.japanese lit.japanese literature.literary.micronesians.nonfiction study.primitive.taiwan.ImperialismHistory.Indigenous peoplesHistory.Indigenous peoplesPublic opinion.Public opinionPopular cultureHistory.Japanese literatureHistory and criticism.Colonies in literature.Imperialism in literature.Indigenous peoples in literature.325/.352Tierney Robert Thomas1953-1563036MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785577403321Tropics of savagery3831130UNINA
