This imperialist policy, spanning two world wars and encompassing both the pre-World War II authoritarian government and the postwar conservative regime, reveals strategic efforts by the Japanese state to control its populace while building an expansive nation beyond its territorial borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToake Endoh compellingly argues that Japan's emigration policy embodied the state's anxieties over domestic political stability and its intention to remove marginalized and radicalized social groups by relocating them abroad. Documenting the disproportionate focus of the southwest region of Japan as a source of emigrants, Endoh considers the state's motivations in formulating emigration policies that selected certain elements of the Japanese population for \"export.\" She also recounts the situations migrants encountered once they reached Latin America, where they were often met with distrust and violence in the \"yellow scare\" of the pre-World War II period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toake Endoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252034023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252034022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2009 pg. 20","brand":"Toake Endoh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47087456387327,"sku":"9780252034022","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad0c2f26-7d99-48c3-8d44-18e13237b7ef.jpg?v=1753849940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exporting-japan-toake-endoh-9780252034022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
