Transpacific Correspondence (eBook, PDF)

Dispatches from Japan's Black Studies

Redaktion: Onishi, Yuichiro; Sakashita, Fumiko

Beschreibung

Since 1954, Japan has become home to a vibrant but little-known tradition of Black Studies. Transpacific Correspondence introduces this intellectual tradition to English-speaking audiences, placing it in the context of a long history of Afro-Asian solidarity and affirming its commitments to transnational inquiry and cosmopolitan exchange. More than six decades in the making, Japan's Black Studies continues to shake up commonly held knowledge of Black history, culture, and literature and build a truly globalized field of Black Studies.

Rezensionen

"Each chapter of the volume has so much to offer as they reimagine the parameters of Black Studies temporally, geographically, and methodologically. A crystallization of Japan's Black Studies in the past and the present, the book will certainly be of great value to those interested in Black Studies, Japan Studies, American Studies and beyond." (Michio Arimitsu, Contemporary Japan, April 16, 2021)
