1st Edition
Constructing the Colonized Land Entwined Perspectives of East Asia around WWII
Biography
Izumi Kuroishi is at The Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan.
'This volume is useful for those interested in the intersections of colonialism, urbanism, regionalism, and modernity. The essays provide a new lens through which to think through space, the built environment, and contested heritages in East Asia. Izumi Kuroishi should be commended for seeing this volume to completion (post-earthquake and tsunami of 2011) and curating such a diverse array of papers that are insightful, interesting, and that open up new venues of inquiry and epistemologies into the ways in which we might consider colonial modernity and its impact on the urban fabric, infrastructure, and imaginings.'
Equinox
'This book represents a major effort to delineate these complex, nuanced relationships by examining the production of architecture and urban space from the perspectives of different actors and institutions in the first half of the twentieth century.'
Cecilia L. Chu, The University of Hong Kong
