Things Seen and Unseen: Discourse and Ideology in Tokugawa Nativism Book

This long-awaited work explores the place of kokugaku (rendered here as "nativism") during Japan's Tokugawa period.

Harootunian treats nativism as a discourse and shows how it functioned ideologically in Tokugawa Japan. Read More
