Description
This study of the construction of racial identities in China and Japan, should provide an understanding of the origins of attitudes and beliefs that shape China's view of itself and how it demands to be seen by other countries. It also offers analyses of the "united race" rhetoric of Japanese uniqueness, the racial policies of Japanese imperial expansion into Manchuria from the 1930s, and the use of the "kanbun" in the education system.
