"Conventional wisdom colors Japan darkly: the lost decades of economic stagnation, the specter of population decline and rapidly aging society, and so on and on. Without blanching the caliginous canvas, I shift it to cast a glimmer of light on contemporary Japanese society."
Prof. John Lie teaches social theory at the University of California, Berkeley. His most recent books are The Dream of East Asia: The Rise of China, Nationalism, Popular Memory, and Regional Dynamics in Northeast Asia (2018) and Collected Works in six volumes in Korean (2019).
