Demarcating Japan by Takahiro Yamamoto
Histories of remote islands around Japan are usually told through the prism of territorial disputes. In contrast, Takahiro Yamamoto contends that the transformation of the islands from ambiguous border zones emerged out of multilateral power relations. Demarcating Japan shows the crucial role of nonstate actors in formulating a territory.
Yamamoto’s extensive work in researching and analyzing events as they unfolded in five maritime border areas during this time period is thus a boon to the field of modern Japanese history…a rich and truly comprehensive accounting of the demarcation of Japan’s borders in the late nineteenth century…original and well-crafted. -- Robert Hellyer * Monumenta Nipponica *
Takahiro Yamamoto is a lecturer in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Singapore University of Technology and Design.
