History's Disquiet

History's Disquiet

Editorial Reviews
Rey Chow, Brown University, author of Primitive Passions: Visuality, Sexuality, Ethnography, and Contemporary Chinese Cinema
In his magisterial account of modernity and the everyday, Harry Harootunian has offered an incisive critique of the politics of knowledge production regarding 'Japan,' 'Asia,' and beyond. The theoretical sophistication, passion, and vision of this work are exemplary. A unique and refreshing contribution to the Wellek Library Lecture series.

Review

"By performing [the] dramatic, initial foray through an extraordinarily fertile research site that others can now settle and plow, History's Disquiet achieves the status of pioneering work." -- The Journal of Asian Studies

"This is an extraordinary book... It should be read and reread." -- Takashi Fujitani, Pacific Historical Review
