Anne Giblin Gedacht

Anne Giblin Gedacht, author of "Tōhoku Unbounded: Regional Identity and the Mobile Subject in Prewar Japan," challenges the static image of Japan's Tōhoku region by exploring cross-border mobility and migration. The podcast covers topics such as the construction of regional identities, the evolving narrative of a Japanese American migrant, and the development of regionalism in prewar Japan. The speaker also discusses the difficulties of reading dialect in Japanese literature and future book plans.
