Meiji at 150

Dr. W. Puck Brecher (Washington State University) Brecher, W. Puck; Grunow, Tristan

Description

In this episode, Dr. Brecher challenges narratives of Meiji modernization from the “top-down” by exploring tourist sites popular in early Meiji Japan and tracing changes to understandings of individuality as examples of grassroots developments. We also discuss his more recent work on the internment of foreign nationals in wartime Japan.
