Event Details:

Join Federico Marcon of Princeton University for a discussion of the contested history of fascism in Japan. The question of when Japan "turned fascist" has no single answer and may be impossible to answer definitively. This talk examines the historical record, changing scholarly interpretations, and broader questions about whether "fascism" is an appropriate category for understanding modern Japanese history.
