Abstract

Circumventing the Evils of Colonialism: Yanaihara Tadao and Zionist Settler Colonialism in Palestine John C. de Boer This essay links Japanese and Zionist settler colonialism through the writing of Yanaihara Tadao (1893 – 1961), professor and longtime chair of colonial policy at Tokyo Imperial University. In exploring the connection between Yanaihara and Zionism, this study treats settler colonialism as a traveling concept. After reminding readers that Japanese and Zionist settler colonial projects operated in the same temporal framework — the early twentieth century — this essay sets out to challenge the traditional borders of knowledge, which organized scholarship into boundaries established by area studies. While the ideas Yanaihara was interested in may have derived from Zionists in Palestine, Yanaihara did not consider them to be exclusive to the Zionist project in Palestine. In fact, he considered them relevant for Japan’s settler colonial enterprise in East Asia. positions 14:3 doi 10.1215/10679847-2006-014 Copyright 2006 by Duke University Press positions 14:3 Winter 2006 Through the work of Yanaihara, a much-heroized figure in Japanese colonial studies, this essay aims to demonstrate that Zionist and Japanese settler colonial projects were part of the same global moment and shared networks of knowledge.
