Book synopsis

This book re-examines the territorial dispute between§Japan and Russia, the so-called Northern§Territories issue, by reinterpreting the role of the§Indigenous Ainu of Japan. In studying Ainu history§and historiography, one finds that the long-standing§emphasis on Wajin-based legitimacy of rule and the§annexation of northern areas has been forgotten in§what amounts to a historical amnesia concerning the§role and status of the Ainu.§ Focusing on Ainu understandings of local,§regional/national and international historical events§underscores the importance of de-nationalizing§history by integrating the important perspectives of§Indigeneity. The preponderance of nation-based§studies has seriously inhibited the analysis of§historical phenomena involving Indigenous peoples.§This study offers a new perspective on the history of§this important dispute and illustrates the importance§of incorporating Indigenous perspectives and§experience within traditional academic studies.§Highly original, this analysis will be essential§reading for students and scholars of History, Japan§Studies, Native Studies and International Relations.
