Remnants of Empire
When Empire Comes Home
Author: Lori Watt
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1684174902
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
"Following the end of World War II in Asia, the Allied powers repatriated over six million Japanese nationals from colonies and battlefields throughout Asia and deported more than a million colonial subjects from Japan to their countries of origin.Depicted at the time as a postwar measure related to the demobilization of defeated Japanese soldiers, this population transfer was a central element in the human dismantling of the Japanese empire that resonates with other post-colonial and post-imperial migrations in the twentieth century.Lori Watt analyzes how the human remnants of empire, those who were moved and those who were left behind, served as sites of negotiation in the process of the jettisoning of the colonial project and in the creation of new national identities in Japan. Through an exploration of the creation and uses of the figure of the repatriate, in political, social, and cultural realms, this study addresses the question of what happens when empire comes home."

Embers of Empire
Author: Paul Miller
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1789200237
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy at the end of World War I ushered in a period of radical change for East-Central European political structures and national identities. Yet this transformed landscape inevitably still bore the traces of its imperial past. Breaking with traditional histories that take 1918 as a strict line of demarcation, this collection focuses on the complexities that attended the transition from the Habsburg Empire to its successor states. In so doing, it produces new and more nuanced insights into the persistence and effectiveness of imperial institutions, as well as the sources of instability in the newly formed nation-states.

Remnants
Author: Hagop Oshagan
Publisher: Gomidas Institute Books
ISBN: 9781909382770
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a classic novel set in the late Ottoman Empire. Oshagan's Remnants: The Way of the Womb, Book 1 (Mnatsortats in the original Armenian) is his magnum opus and the culmination of a series of powerful, innovative novels on Muslim-Christian, and especially Turkish-Armenian, relations in the Ottoman Empire. Remnants is a literary reconstruction of the pre-genocide world of the Armenians told through the horrific collapse of a family, the Nalbandians. The author intended the novel to be divided into three parts (Part I: The Way of the Womb; Part II: The Way of Blood; Part III: Hell) but was unable to write the third part, which was to be devoted to the extermination of the Armenians, depicting the twenty-four hours during which the Armenian population of Bursa was annihilated. This is by far one of the most important, innovative novels ever written on the Ottoman Empire and social relations among its diverse Muslim and Christian populations. This work has been translated into English by a preeminent scholar and mainstream translator, Geoffrey M. Goshgarian.
