Japanese Phoenix
The author argues that Japan was successful in its colonization of Korea owing to its mastery of international legal discourse. But this leads to a simple question: If discourse mattered more than power, then why did the international community completely disregard Koreans, even those who made use of the very same discourse of international law?
In the end, this is really a story of power, one that has been told better by other historians.
Still, I appreciate the author's passion, and the comparison between empire and slavery is warranted and spot on.
