"Robert Tierney's "Tropics of Savagery" presents a most incisive and provocative account of Japanese colonial discourse. Tierney pursues a deeper understanding of Japan's imperialism through rich and powerful narratives and analysis."--Leo Ching, author of "Becoming 'Japanese': Colonial Taiwan and the Politics of Identity Formation" "Tierney offers one of the first serious evaluations of how Japanese came to look upon their new colonial possessions and how this imperial impulse was displaced through a tropic mechanism that appealed to the figures of savagery and primitivism. He not only provides readings of important but unfamiliar Japanese writers; he positions them in such a way as to tell a narrative that simply hasn't been told. An outstanding work."--Harry Harootunian, author of "Overcome by Modernity: History, Culture, and Community in Interwar Japan "
