[[[New Entry Alert]]]]
Professor Paul Barclay kindly contributed another entry to my website, Grassroots Operations of the Japanese Empire!

https://www.japaneseempire.info/post/kond%C5%8D-the-barbarian-and-indigenous-peoples

This is based on his new wonderful publication, Kondo the Barbarian: A Japanese Adventurer and Indigenous Taiwan’s Bloodiest Uprising (https://camphorpress.com/books/kondo-the-barbarian/). The entry includes a VERY intriguing except from the series of articles telling Kondo's story.

Here's another experimental "bilingual" book talk, featuring Hiro Fujimoto's award-winning book!

This turned out to be a very nerdy post. But basically, there were tons of Korean newspapers in Japan right after August 1945. Read Kobayashi Somei's book. But for now this list should help you orient yourself in the confusing alley of newspapers.

For the #asianist, #avantgarde, and #butoh folks out there maybe I could promote my 2003 M.A. thesis "Ghosts of #premodernity: #Butoh and the #avantgarde."

I had self-published it for kindle on Amz - if anyone knows of any other way I could self-publish it pls let me know. https://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-Pre-Modernity-Avant-Garde-Shannon-Moore-ebook/dp/B009QLF4J6/ref=sr_1_2
