The Smithsonian Book of Books by Michael Olmert
This book underscores the fallacy of 'Asian American' as a historical category in demonstrating the distinctive characteristics of Japanese migration and settlement to the United States as citizens of the only Asian imperial power. It is ambitiously conceived, meticulously researched, and soundly organized, and it will significantly impact the fields of history of empire, migration and critical race studies, Asian American history, Japanese history, and intellectual history.--Madeline Hsu, author of The Good Immigrants: How the Yellow Peril Became the Model Minority Taking readers from California to Taiwan, Manchuria, and beyond, this erudite and profound study of settlers, settlement projects, and frontier visions re-charts the landscape of Japanese expansionism. In Search of Our Frontier is a landmark work that reveals the racial politics of Japanese migration and colonialism for the first time in their full complexity.--Jordan Sand, Professor of Japanese History, Georgetown University
