“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 natives. I’ve been dying to learn about Japanese politics from a socialist-communist perspective since I started studying proletarian feminism a couple years ago, since learning anything from my family comes with holding the Japanese imperialists high.
Also the music on this podcast slaps. I’ve found so many rad songs & artists from Kota.👏🏽”
