Résumé :
|
In December 1999, a workshop on "Wartime Japanese Anthropology in Asia and Oceania" was held at the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka. The present volume is an outcome of that workshop. Since the end of World War II, Japanese wartime anthropology has been a field growing [End Page 487] in stature and credibility, beginning as an outgrowth of Japanese colonization in Asia, as well as colonization by other nations in Southeast Asia. The Japanese army's invasion of Manchuria in 1931, and soon of other parts of China, was the start of a long period of war involving many people and large areas of land in Asia and the Pacific Islands. After much serious and bloody fighting, the Japanese were driven from Asia and the Pacific by UK and US military forces.
