We are pleased to offer the 20-volume Japanese Propaganda: Selected Readings Series plus the 20-volume Critical Readings on Japan, 1906-1948 Series as a unified collection: The Representation of Japan in Modern East Asia, 1872-1948.

Taken together, these sets offer an unrivalled perspective on East Asia’s propaganda wars in the modern era. The two Japanese Propaganda Series present the case made by Japanese publicists in English for Japan’s evolving agenda in East Asia and beyond. Series 1 presents ten volumes of books, with a General Introduction by Series Editor Peter O’Connor and introductions to each volume contributed by an international panel of scholars. Series 2 offers another General Introduction and presents eighty-nine scarce pamphlets, many never before reprinted, in ten thematically organized volumes.

The two series of Critical Readings on Japan, 1906-1948 demonstrate the world’s reactions to Japan’s agenda and counter-arguments to Japan’s master narrative, as well as more immediate responses to Japanese incursions in East and South-East Asia. Series 1 offers a selection of key critical books, each with a scholarly introduction. Over ten volumes, Series 2 presents sixty-two extremely rare pamphlets and articles from the press and media of the day. Both Series begin with a General Introduction by Series Editor Peter O’Connor.
