In \u003ci\u003eOvercoming Empire in Post-Imperial East Asia: Repatriation, Redress and Rebuilding\u003c\/i\u003e, Barak Kushner and Sherzod Muminov bring together an international team of leading scholars to explore the post-imperial history of the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom international aid to postwar cinema to chemical warfare, these essays all focus on the aftermath of Japan's aggressive warfare and the new international strategies which Japan, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea utilised following the end of the war and the collapse of Japan's empire. The result is a nuanced analysis of the transformation of postwar national identities, colonial politics, and the reordering of society in East Asia. With its innovative comparative and transnational perspective, this book is essential reading for scholars of modern East Asian history, the cold war, and the history of decolonisation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarak Kushner\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of East Asian History at the University of Cambridge, UK.
