Provincializing empire : Ōmi merchants in the Japanese transpacific diaspora Oakland, California : University of California Press, 2023. ©2023 378 pages : illustrations (colour), maps (colour) ; 23 cm Asia pacific modern ; vol 18 "Open access edition funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities." Includes bibliographical references and index. The rise of Ōmi shōnin as diasporic traders-- At the nexus of colonialism and capitalism in Hokkaido-- A vision of transpacific expansion from the periphery-- The production of global Ōmi shōnin-- The “gōshū zaibatsu” in Japan's cotton empire-- Ōmi merchants in the colonial world of retail-- A Shiga immigrant diaspora in Canada. "Provincializing Empire explores the global history of Japanese expansion through a regional lens. It rethinks the nation-centered geography and chronology of empire by uncovering the pivotal role of expeditionary merchants from Omi (present-day Shiga Prefecture) and their modern successors. Tracing their lives from the early modern era, and writing them into the global histories of empire, diaspora, and capitalism, Jun Uchida offers an innovative analysis of expansion through a story previously untold: how the nation's provincials built on their traditions to create a transpacific diaspora that stretched from Seoul to Vancouver, while helping shape the modern world of transoceanic exchange"-- Provided by publisher.
