Christianity and Imperialism in Modern Japan explores how Japanese Protestants engaged with the unsettling changes that resulted from Japan’s emergence as a world power in the early 20th century. Through this analysis, the book offers a new perspective on the intersection of religion and imperialism in modern Japan. Emily Anderson reassesses religion as a critical site of negotiation between the state and its subjects as part of Japan’s emergence as a modern nation-state and colonial empire. The book shows how religion, including its adherents and the state’s attempts to determine acceptable belief, is a necessary subject of study for a nuanced understanding of modern Japanese history.
