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. 410 0$aAsia Pacific modern ;$v5. 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zJapan 606 $aPopular culture$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aIndigenous peoples in literature 607 $aJapan$xColonies$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples in literature. 676 $a325/.352 700 $aTierney$b Robert Thomas$f1953-$01041161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459584103321 996 $aTropics of savagery$92464502 997 $aUNINA
