Ruins of Identity: Ethnogenesis in the Japanese Islands ペーパーバック – 1999/9/1
購入オプションとあわせ買い
Many Japanese people consider themselves to be part of an essentially unchanging and isolated ethnic unit in which the biological, linguistic, and cultural aspects of Japanese identity overlap almost completely with each other. In its examination of the processes of ethnogenesis (the formation of ethnic groups) in the Japanese Islands, Ruins of Identity offers an approach to ethnicity that differs fundamentally from that found in most Japanese scholarship and popular discourse. Following an extensive discussion of previous theories on the formation of Japanese language, race, and culture and the nationalistic ideologies that have affected research in these topics, Mark Hudson presents a model of a core Japanese population based on the dual origin hypothesis currently favored by physical anthropologists. According to this model, the Jomon population, which was present in Japan by at least the end of the Pleistocene, was followed by agriculturalists from the Korean peninsula during the Yayoi period (ca. 400 BC to AD 300). Hudson analyzes further evidence of migrations and agricultural colonization in an impressive summary of recent cranial, dental, and genetic studies and in a careful examination of the linguistic and archaeological records.
The final sections of the book explore the cultural construction of Japanese ethnicity. Cultural aspects of ethnicity do not emerge pristine and fully formed but are the result of cumulative negotiation. Ethnic identity is continually recreated through interaction within and without the society concerned. Such a view necessitates an approach to culture change that takes into account complex interactions with a larger system. Accordingly, Hudson considers post-Yayoi ethnogenesis in Japan within the East Asian world system, examining the role of interaction between core and periphery in the formation of new ethnic identities, such as the Ainu. He argues that the defining elements of the Ainu period and culture (ca. AD 1200) can be linked directly to a dramatic expansion in Japanese trade goods flowing north as Hokkaido became increasingly exploited by core regions to the south.
Highly original and at times controversial, Ruins of Identity will be essential reading for students and scholars in Japanese studies and will be of interest to anthropologists and historians working on ethnicity in other parts of the world.

The book is an unholy mess of thousands of strands of information from a respectable amount of sources, loosely bound together by the promise that all of this information is relevant to the point the author is trying to make. As for what that point was? Who knows with the majority of the book contradicting itself or flat out saying everything you just read for the last three pages has no evidence supporting it and is probably completely wrong. The only strong argument Hudson seems to make in the entire book is that no one knows anything or agrees on anything for one reason or another, and even if they did, future evidence will completely change everything anyway.
If I were grading this as a paper, I would give Hudson a C+. He's definitely compiled a great deal of information and cites all of his sources well, but he lacks the ability to present this information in a clear, concise, and organized fashion.
I honestly cannot think of anyone who would benefit in any way from reading this.
