Product Information

As a transnational history of science, Japan's Empire of Birds: Aristocrats, Anglo-Americans, and Transwar Ornithology focuses on the political aspects of highly mobile Japanese explorer-scientists, or cosmopolitan gentlemen of science, circulating between Japanese and British/American spaces in the transwar period from the 1920s to 1950s. Annika A. Culver examines a network of zoologists united by their practice of ornithology and aristocratic status. She goes on to explore issues of masculinity and race related to this amidst the backdrop of imperial Japan's interwar period of peaceful internationalism, the rise of fascism, the Japanese takeover of Manchuria, and war in China and the Pacific. Culver concludes by investigating how these scientists repurposed their aims during Japan's Allied Occupation and the Cold War. Inspired by geographer Doreen Massey, themes covered in the volume include social space and place in these specific locations and how identities transform to garner social capital and scientific credibility in transnational associations and travel for non-white scientists.

Reviews
"This book excels as a gateway to Japanese history for nonspecialist readers. Culver's Japan's Empire of Birds makes an exceptional contribution to existing literature by providing a different perspective to the conceptualizing of transnational scientific imperialism." -- H-Net Reviews "Annika Culver's Japan's Empire of Birds stands out for its original and illuminating topic, which the author has researched with vigor, creativity, and thoroughness. Delving into all matters avian related, from collecting and science to hunting and carrier pigeons, the book makes a compelling case for Japan's previously unacknowledged relationship with birds as a lens on the history of imperialism and war, science and masculinity." -- Miriam Kingsberg Kadia, Professor of Modern Japan, University of Colorado Boulder, USA, "This book is more than just a history of ornithology or a biography of Japanese scientists: it is a nuanced exploration of the complex interplay between science, politics and culture in the context of Empire. ... Will undoubtedly interest scholars of Japanese history, the history of science and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the fascinating world of ornithology." -- IBIS: International Journal of Avian Science "This book excels as a gateway to Japanese history for nonspecialist readers.
