We are pleased to announce that Yukiko Koga‘s forthcoming Study of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Inheritance of Loss: The Political Economy of Redemption After Empire, has received a First Book Award subvention from the Association for Asian Studies.
Professor Koga’s book, which will be published by the University of Chicago Press in 2016, explores how the current generation of ordinary Chinese and Japanese, two to three generations removed from the direct experience of Japanese imperialism, encounter each other and experience and navigate colonial inheritances in the urban everyday of Northeast China.
A Columbia PhD, Professor Koga currently teaches anthropology at Hunter College, the City University of New York.
