Using David Mitchell?s The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, Tan Twang Eng?s The Garden of the Evening Mists and Kazuo Ishiguro?s work to examine Japanese militarists? tactics of usurpation and how Japanese imperialism reached out to the grass-root public and turned into a fundamental belief in colonial invasion and imperial expansion, the book provides an in depth study of trauma, memory and war. From studying the rise of Japanese imperialism to Japan?s legitimization of colonial invasion, in addition to the devastating consequences of imperialism on both the colonizers and the colonized, the book provides a literary, discursive context to re-examine the forces of civilization which will appeal to all those interested in diasporic literature and postcolonial discourse, and the continued relevance of literature in understanding memory, legacy and war. . 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aJapan?History 606 $aLiterature    606 $aImperialism 606 $aComparative Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 606 $aPostcolonial/World Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aJapan?History. 615 0$aLiterature   . 615 0$aImperialism. 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 615 24$aPostcolonial/World Literature. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 676 $a823.009 700 $aWang$b Ching-chih$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01227652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483603403321 996 $aJapanese Imperialism in Contemporary English Fiction$92850375 997 $aUNINA
