By examining the development of collective national identity in Japan and by drawing on archival materials in Japan and Australia, including official correspondence between the two countries and policy-related primary source materials such as internal government correspondence and parliamentary debates, it shows how the local discourse on national identity in both Japan and Australia was an important factor in what would be Japan’s heated response to the issue of Japanese exclusion under the auspices of White Australia. ■ Last modified: 2025-10-13 03:48:47
