Contradictory impulses Canada and Japan in the twentieth century
Canada's early participation in the Asia-Pacific region was hindered by "contradictory impulses." For over half a century, racist restrictions curtailed immigration from Japan, even as Canadian entrepreneurs, missionaries, and diplomats manoeuvred for access to the Orient. Since then, Canada's relations with Japan have changed profoundly, and the two countries' political, economic, and diplomatic interests are now more closely aligned and wrapped up in a web of reinforcing cultural and social ties. Contradictory Impulses is a comprehensive and richly documented study of the social, political, and economic interactions between Canada and Japan from the late nineteenth century until today. The chapters, written by leading scholars, provide a portrait of a nation growing into its Pacific identity and also raise pointed questions about the future of Canada's relations with Japan and the vast Pacific region. Contradictory Impulses challenges our historic understanding of Canada's place in the world. This portrait of a nation growing into its Pacific identity raises pointed questions about the future of Canada's relations with Japan and the vast Pacific region. It will appeal to scholars, policymakers, and others interested in Canada's relations with Japan and the Asia-Pacific Rim.
