Summary

"The Attractive Empire argues for a reconsideration of the period as part of the imperial project - a point of view that its contemporaries held - and not simply as an outgrowth of war mobilization. Extending his scope beyond Japanese defeat in 1945, Baskett calls attention to a disturbing continuity in Japanese representations of Asia that extends throughout the occupation and into the present. This illuminating and accessibly written book will attract both general readers and specialists with an interest in film studies, Asian cinema, colonial studies, and Japanese history."--BOOK JACKET
