Absolute erotic, absolute grotesque : the living, dead, and undead in Japan's imperialism, 1895-1945

by Mark Driscoll

This study examines the role of marginalised labour and human life in the expansion of the Japanese empire. It traces the transition from early colonial development to the forced labour and systemic violence of the 1930s and 1940s in Taiwan, Korea, and Manchuria.
