- This 90,000-word, 250-page monograph draws on the life and work of over 80 Japanese writers and intellectuals in order to recount political and cultural changes that unfolded in Japan before, during, and after World War Two. It is based on over 180 Japanese-language sources gathered over the course of two years of concentrated research at three Japanese archives, three Japanese library collections, and one museum. It analyses materials from two different American archives and draws on dozens of published works of philosophy, social science, and journalism in English and Chinese to reconstruct the transnational networks and milieu of Japanese intellectuals
