Decades later, a man also from northeast Japan stows away on a boat to Canada and establishes a salmon roe business. By 1930, an investigative journalist travels to Brazil and writes a book that wins the first-ever Akutagawa Prize. In the 1940s, residents from the same area proclaim that they should lead Imperial Japan in colonizing all of Asia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Across decades and oceans, these fractured narratives seem disparate, but show how mobility is central to the history of Japan's Tōhoku region, a place often stereotyped as a site of rural stasis and traditional immobility, thereby collapsing boundaries between local, national, and global studies of Japan.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book examines how multiple mobilities converge in Japan's supposed hinterland. Drawing on research from three continents, this monograph demonstrates that Tohoku's regional identity is inextricably intertwined with Pacific migrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Giblin Gedacht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004527931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004527935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anne Giblin Gedacht","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078029242623,"sku":"9789004527935","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75c95074-4e7a-4b30-ba40-f882665f646c.jpg?v=1685473140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thoku-unbounded-anne-giblin-gedacht-9789004527935","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
