This podcast seeks to challenge the commonly held assumptions about Japan as harmonious, homogeneous, and traditional by recasting its history as a history of conflict and change, as the history of class struggles, from anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, and intersectional perspectives.

The first of its kind I’ve ever seen in English—analysis of historic & modern Japan from an anti-imperialist and marxist context finally from someone who is non-white and non-diasporic. I’m yonsei/gosei & my entire family was raised in diaspora since the early 1900s, traumatized from the shame of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and many relatives enlisting in the 442nd Infantry, whilst benefitting substantially from the capitalist American assimilation and the oppression & displacement of nati... more
I was among the group of white millennials whose childhood was shaped by Japanese cultural products and who was sold a specific image of Japan as a harmonious conservative and conformist culture untouched by the evils of socialism. This podcast helped me see Japan's multifaceted reality and process what I had been taught while enhancing my appreciation for the artists who shaped my childhood.
Just writing a review to cancel out some of the one stars. It’s pretty good and I recommend
I would have listened to this podcast. But the host blocked me on instagram cuz he seems to be very insecure and defensive. He talks about how bad sweat shops are but sells “custom” nike high tops. He complains about “grad school yuppies” but I’m pretty sure he grew up pretty comfortably. Probably just an anti-intellectual reactionary attempting to latch on to left wing movements for economic gain. Dude’s probably never suffered a day in his life. Total fraud.
Great Info was looking for something like this for a while. Grateful for your effort 💛
