How does ethnocentrism facilitate an oppressive status quo? Who actually benefits from war? Questions such as these were integral to the work of writer Kuroshima Denji (1898-1943), one of modern Japan's most dedicated antimilitarist intellectuals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKuroshima was wholeheartedly committed to fundamental change and produced numerous literary works expressing his passionate opposition to armed force as an instrument of imperialism. His only full-length novel, superbly translated here as Militarized Streets, was censored by both Japan's imperial government and the U.S. occupation authorities. The present volume comprises much of Kuroshima's most highly acclaimed work for the first time in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denji Kuroshima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0824829263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780824829261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Hawaii Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 6.10w x 0.67d","brand":"Denji Kuroshima","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159525847295,"sku":"9780824829261","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c17e7acb-f469-42ed-af8f-d8121273b728.jpg?v=1689083127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-flock-of-swirling-crows-denji-kuroshima-9780824829261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
