Abstract

In The Periodical Press in Treaty-Port Japan , Munson offers an analytical survey of print media published in the ‘treaty port’ of Yokohama during the tumultuous final decade of the Tokugawa shogunate. His focus includes English-language newspapers; ‘hybrid’ multinational newspapers, published by Westerners but written in Japanese; and the Japan Punch , a satirical illustrated journal published by Charles Wirgman (Japan correspondent and illustrator for the Illustrated London News ). Whereas previous studies of the topic have been written from the perspective of institutional development, The Periodical Press in Treaty-Port Japan provides a fresh take in the field of Japanese media history—and convincingly demonstrates that these early efforts were in fact vital, sophisticated, and exciting.

Abstract

This book vividly portrays the past, current, and future development of Yokohama Chinatown through the context of its Cantonese residents, grounded through a family history. It is useful for both academic and non- academic readers who are interested in migration history, transformation of urban spaces, anthropological perspectives of integration of immigrants, diasporic studies and overseas Chinese studies. It is informative when considering the role of immigrant communities in the world today in the context of globalization stimulating cross-border movements and anti-globalization forces that act as push and pull factors for migration. It is also a study of harmonious integration of the overseas Chinese community in Yokohama and its ability to retain its own cultural traits, rights, rituals, traditions and dialect language in one of the most homogenous countries in the world. This increases the attractiveness of Yokohama City in terms of ethnic diversity, cosmopolitan multiculturalism and urban space renewal.

Abstract

In a narrative history rich in colorful detail, Simon Partner uses the story of an ordinary merchant farmer and its Yokohama setting as a vantage point onto sweeping social transformation and its unwitting agents. Partner’s history of a vibrant meeting place humanizes the story of Japan’s revolutionary 1860s and their profound consequences for Japanese society and culture.

Abstract

"Set against the political and social upheavals of the 1960s, A Room Where the Star-Spangled Banner Cannot Be Heard tells the story of Ben Isaac, a blond-haired, blue-eyed American youth living with his father at the American consulate in Yokohama. Chafing against his father's strict authority and the trappings of an American culture that has grown increasingly remote, Ben flees home to live with Andō, his Japanese friend. Refusing to speak English with Ben, Andō shows the young American the way to Shinjuku, the epicenter of Japan's countercultural movement and the closest Ben has ever felt to home."--Jacket
