Nanshin and Japanese migrants in Papua and New Guinea : myth and reality of Japanese expansion in the South Seas

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Not many studies have been done on Japanese emigration to Nan'yo (the South Seas) in relation to nanshin (southward advance) or nanshin-ron (southward advance theory). Among the few studies are Hayase's study on emigration to the Philippines, HARA's study on emigration to British Malaya andGoto's on emigration from Okinawa (HAYASE, 1989; HARA, 1986; GOTO, 1993). However, their analyses tend to place less emphasis on the effects of western perceptions of Japanese migrants. As Nan'yo (Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia and Southeast Asia) was mostly western colonies, the presence ofJapanese migrants there needs to be analysed not only by their relation to Japan's nationalist ideology but also by their interaction with that of western counterparts. This paper draws this point to attention through the analysis on Japanese emigration to Papua and New Guinea in the pre-Pacific War period in the context of two contending nationalist perceptions — Japan's nanshin-ron and Australia's 'WhiteAustralia Policy'.
