Constructing Empire: The Japanese in Changchun, 1905–45

Autor Bill Sewell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 feb 2019
Civilians play crucial roles in building empires.Constructing Empireshows how Japanese urban planners, architects, and other civilians contributed—often enthusiastically—to constructing a modern colonial enclave in northeast China. As Bill Sewell shows, Japanese imperialism in Manchuria before 1932 developed in a manner similar to that of other imperialists elsewhere in China—but thereafter the Japanese sought to surpass their rivals by transforming the city of Changchun into a grand capital for the puppet state of Manchukuo, putting it on the cutting edge of Japanese propaganda. Providing a thematic assessment of the evolving nature of planning, architecture, economy, and society in Changchun, Sewell examines the key organizations involved in developing Japan’s empire there as part of larger efforts to assert its place in the world order.
