"Fascinating. . . . An instructive study for anyone concerned with the condensation of past, present, and future into a highly contentious politics of heritage that so often shapes modern identities of place, ethnicity, and nation."—American Historical Review
This expertly crafted ethnography examines the ways in which native and new citizens of Kodaira, a Tokyo suburb, have both remade the past and imagined the future of their city in a quest for an "authentic" Japanese community.
Takarazuka, by Jennifer Robertson
