Focusing on the domestic impact of Japan's activities in Northeast China between 1931 and 1945, Young considers \"metropolitan effects\" of empire building: how people at home imagined and experienced the empire they called Manchukuo.\n\nContrary to the conventional assumption that a few army officers and bureaucrats were responsible for Japan's overseas expansion, Young finds that a variety of organizations helped to mobilize popular support for Manchukuo―the mass media, the academy, chambers of commerce, women's organizations, youth groups, and agricultural cooperatives―leading to broad-based support among diverse groups of Japanese. As the empire was being built in China, Young shows, an imagined Manchukuo was emerging at home, constructed of visions of a defensive lifeline, a developing economy, and a settler's paradise.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0520219341\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0520219341.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Young, Louise\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
