Abstract
This volume provides a systematic overview of debates over Japanese national identity and nationalism from middle of nineteenth century to present. It presumes that nationalism is a particular form of identity-politics and as such it foregrounds national identity as it has been articulated by influential Japanese intellectuals. Building on theories that situate nationalism as a mode of politicizing people, this study presents Japanese nationalism as a contestory practice that positions the people as what nation is and what nationalism seeks to achieve. The body of text is composed of chapters that explore key sites where this practice has been particularly intense and influential (kokumin, minzoku, shakai, tenno). Originally published in hardcover.
