- Summary:
- Scholars have long examined the relationship between nation-states and their "internal others," such as immigrants and ethnoracial minorities. Contested Embrace shifts the analytic focus to explore how a state relates to people it views as "external members," focusing on disputes over the membership status of Koreans in Japan and China in the colonial, Cold War, and post-Cold War periods. Extending the constructivist approach to nationalisms, and the culturalist view of the modern state, to a transnational context, Contested Embrace shows how geopolitics, bureaucratic techniques, and actors' agency shape the making, unmaking, and remaking of transborder ties at specific historical moments.
