Description: Monster of the Twentieth Century : Kotoku Shusui and Japan's First Anti-Imperialist Movement, Hardcover by Tierney, Robert Thomas, ISBN 0520286340, ISBN-13 9780520286344, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "This extended monograph examines the work of the radical journalist Ktoku Shsui and Japan's anti-imperialist movement of the early twentieth century. It includes the first English translation of Kotoku Shusui's classic 1901 work Teikokushugi (Imperialism). Shsui was a Japanese socialist, anarchist, and critic of Japan's imperial expansionism who was executed in 1911 for his alleged participation in a plot to kill the Emperor. Imperialism was one of the first systematic criticisms of imperialism published anywhere in the world. In this seminal text, Shsui condemns global imperialism as the commandeering of politics by national elites and denounces patriotism and militarism as the principal causes of imperialism. In addition to the translation, author andtranslator Robert Tierney offers an in-depth study of Shsui's text and of the early anti-imperialist movement he led. Tierney's study places Shsui's book within the broader context of early twentieth-century debates on the nature and causes of imperialism. It also offers a detailed account of the different stages of the Japanese anti-imperialist movement. Monster of the Twentieth Century constitutes a major contribution to the intellectual history of modern Japan and to the comparative study of critiquesof capitalism and colonialism."--Provided by publisher.
