"All of the chapters contribute to a dynamic picture of modern Japan as a maritime empire and part of a globalizing world. Some may be of greater interest to specialists in Japanese history than others, but all are informative and readily approachable for the general reader. As a whole, Transnational Japan as History provides an excellent snapshot of the most innovative research being done today in this exciting new field." (Jordan Sand, The International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 28 (4), 2016)

This volume looks at the history of Japan from a transnational perspective. It brings to the fore the interconnectedness of Japan's history with the wider Asian-Pacific region and the world. This interconnectedness is examined in the volume through the themes of empire, migration, and social movements.
