Tōhoku Unbounded: Regional Identity and the Mobile Subject in Prewar Japan (Studies in Global Social History / Studies in Global Migration History)

Erasing boundaries between local and global, imperial and immigrant histories, Tōhoku Unbounded 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.
