Wartime Pan-Asianism was discredited with Japan’s defeat, but the government did not completely abandon its vision of regional leadership. Unable in postwar circumstances to exert strong political leadership, Japanese representatives to the 1955 Bandung Conference redeployed wartime alternatives to standard diplomacy, emphasizing supposedly apolitical initiatives such as economic cooperation and cultural exchange. Such postwar internationalisms played a part in the creation of a new Japanese national identity. At Bandung, Japanese representatives once again sought to define Japan as part of Asia, but as an economic and cultural leader, instead of a hegemon.Less

The word lynching is most likely American in origin, but the practice of lynching, defined by scholars as extralegal group assault and/or murder motivated by social control concerns, can be found in many global cultures and eras. This collection of essays looks at lynching and related varieties of collective violence, such as vigilantism and rioting, across world cultures. Analyzing lynching and collective violence in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the chapters highlight both the presence of mob violence in a number of cultures and eras and the particularity of its occurrence in certain cultural and historical contexts.Less

This chapter examines the differences between old and new xenophobia, but also explains their areas of overlap and, in particular, illustrates how new xenophobia can draw upon older forms of xenophobia, sometimes even in opposition, for sustenance. It concludes by offering examples of new xenophobic legislation from Denmark, and linking it to similar slippages elsewhere.Less
