| Synopsis: |
Contradictory Impulses is a comprehensive study of thesocial, political, and economic interactions between Canada and Japanfrom the late nineteenth century until today. Leading scholars drawupon the most recent archival research to examine an importantbilateral relationship that has matured in fits and starts over thepast century.Canada's early participation in the Asia-Pacific region washindered by "contradictory impulses" shaping its approach.For over half a century, racist restrictions curtailed immigration fromJapan, even as Canadians manoeuvred for access to the fabled wealth ofthe Orient. Canada's relations with Japan have changed profoundlysince then. As Contradictory Impulses makes clear, the twocountries' political, economic, and diplomatic interests are nowmore closely aligned than ever before and wrapped up in a web ofreinforcing cultural and social ties. |
