"A remarkable and sorely needed synthesis of the best of traditional historiographical documentation and critically astute analysis and contextualization. Cartographies complements and, frankly, exceeds any of the English language monographs on similar topics that precede it, and it represents significant contributions to several fields outside of East Asian history, including literature, gender studies, lesbian and gay studies, and cultural studies."—Earl Jackson Jr., author of Strategies of Deviance: Studies in Gay male Representation and Fantastic Living: The Speculative Autobiographies of Samuel R. Delany

Male-Male Sexuality in Japanese Discourse, 1600–1950

Cartographies of Desire

Brett L. Walker

Regents' Professor and Department Chairperson Brett Walker

Challenges many of the fundamental assumptions that have shaped contemporary scholarship on Japan, engaging from different perspectives questions of economic growth, isolation from and interaction with the outside world, the tools of conquest and empire, and the character of modernity.
