This innovative study demonstrates how Japanese empirebuilders invented and appropriated the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific. Lu defines this overpopulation discourse as Malthusian expansionism. This was a set of ideas that demanded additional land abroad to accommodate the supposed surplus people in domestic society on the one hand and emphasized the necessity of national population growth on the other. Lu delineates ideological ties, human connections and institutional continuities between Japanese colonial migration in Asia and Japanese migration to Hawaii and North and South America from 1868 to 1961. He further places Malthusian expansionism at the center of the logic of modern settler colonialism, challenging the conceptual division between migration and settler colonialism in global history. This title is also available as Open Access.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn’t meet my expectations. The focus was narrower than I thought, and I felt like it dragged on in parts. Probably great for specialists, but not for casual readers.

Great Resource for Students
I bought this book for my history class, and it’s been a great resource. The analysis of settler colonialism is thorough, although the writing can be a bit academic at times. Worth it for serious students!

Interesting but Dense
I found 'The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism' to be quite interesting, but some sections were really dense. It took some effort to get through, but there were some great insights about colonial impacts.
