The Cartographic Steppe: Mapping Environment and Ethnicity in Japan’s Imperial Borderlands

ABSTRACT

This dissertation traces one of the origins of the autonomous region system in the
People’s Republic of China to the Japanese imperial project by focusing on Inner Mongolia in the 1930s. Here, Japanese technocrats demarcated the borderlands through categories of ethnicity and livelihood. At the center of this endeavor was the perceived problem of nomadic decline: the loss of the region’s deep history of transhumance to Chinese agricultural expansion and capitalist extraction. As Japanese occupiers and their collaborators witnessed the social costs of state-led modernization, they began to pursue radical solutions in ethnic cleansing and environmental engineering on the steppe. These chapters show how Japanese administrators strove to reconstitute the relationship between land and nomad through theories of Social Darwinism, Marxian materialism, and cooperative evolution—theories they translated into technologies of rule on the periphery. Nomadism, often cast as incompatible to modernity, actually became integral to its conceit for the empire. Maps acted as the primary idiom through which Japanese planners sought to visualize the borderlands.
Using Japanese, Chinese, and Mongolian sources, the dissertation challenges the nationbased paradigms that have come to dominate the environmental history of East Asia. To view the colonies from afar as an extractive frontier removes us from environmental consequences of imperialism as much as it did for those living on the archipelago at the time. Rather, the social scientific theories and land surveying technologies, as discussed in these chapters, combined to

iii disrupt the lives of hunters, herders, and farmers with environmental consequences that persisted into the postwar. As such, the dissertation brings together the seemingly irreconcilable histories of the Japanese empire and the People’s Republic. The narrative here addresses the problematic practice in the literature on Japanese imperialism of overlooking the Mongolian territories as empty space. It also serves as an alternate understanding to the beginnings of the multiethnic framework of the People’s Republic. Instead of only seeing the beginnings of Communist rule as forged in the fires of war against the Japanese, the dissertation also points to the significance of the occupation in shaping the ethnic and ecological bounds of modern China.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This dissertation has left many debts of gratitude in its wake. First and foremost, I must acknowledge the patience and faith of my committee in this endeavor: to Ian J. Miller and Mark C. Elliott, my two main advisors, whose unbounded enthusiasm for the transnational nature of the project propelled it forward even when I felt it had become almost impossible to finish; to Andrew Gordon, whose careful scrutiny and generous comments have saved me from many embarrassing errors; and to Ruth Rogaski, whose ambitious vision of the work reminds me how much I have yet to do. I also owe David Howell a bottle of port not only for his sharp comments as outside reader, but also for his critical eye over the years. Thank you.
My project relied upon the generous financial support of several organizations and their staff. At Harvard University, I thank Ted Gilman, Catherine Glover, and Stacie Matsumoto at the Reischauer Institute and Susan Pharr and Shinju Fujihira at the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations for grants to conduct summer research and attend national conferences. The Foreign Language and Area Studies Program and Harvard University Asia Center both funded summers of training in Mandarin in the early years of graduate school. As for my years abroad, the Japan Foundation sponsored my eight-month residence in Tokyo, as well as visits to cities that spanned the length of the archipelago from Sapporo to Yamaguchi. Fellowships from the Fulbright Commission and the Social Science Research Council made my ten months in Hohhot possible, as well as trips to Beijing, Hailar, and Qiqihar. In my last year in Cambridge, the Fairbank Center housed and nourished me with its glaringly bright fluorescent lights and leftover conference food late into the night. The Mahindra Center for the Humanities, along with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, covered my finishing grant. Finally I thank the Harvard University History

ix
Department, and especially Dan Bertwell, who dealt with the bureaucratic work of seeing me through graduation.
While researching in Japan, Yanagisawa Akira kindly sponsored my affiliation at Waseda
University. Takagi Hiroshi, to whom I have yet to repay an intellectual debt since my college years, accompanied me through the stacks of the Institute for Research in the Humanities Library at Kyoto University. I also would like to recognize Nakami Tatsuo, Hirokawa Saho at Niigata University, Suzuki Nirei, and Erdenchuluu Khohchahar for listening to me while I still worked through inchoate thoughts about my project. Members of the Modern Japan Workshop at Waseda University, run by Ryan Moran and Ariel Acosta, gave valuable comments in revising my fifth chapter. I would like to recognize the staff at the university libraries of Hokkaido, Kyoto, Takushoku, Toyama, and Yamaguchi, the National Diet Library, and the Tōyō Bunko, as well as at the archives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Institute for Defense Studies for always accommodating my research requests, no matter how ridiculous, with grace. Assel Bitabarova, Hannah Shepherd, Yamazaki Noriko, and Yokota Nobuko all scanned rare materials that remained out of reach for me. Mimaki Seiko sent me an important book from Tokyo that Chinese authorities had confiscated from my belongings. My uncle Hiraiwa Shūgo has purchased multiple volumes for me from used book dealers as well. Over the last three years, Shi-Lin Loh has saved me in so many research emergencies, despite an ocean separating us: document scans, library books, and endless hours of astutde advice. I will always have fond memories of triumph at the Coco Ichibanya Curry Challenge and the Takadanobaba Sutampu Rarii with Andre Dekrow, Tom Gaubatz, Matt McMullen, and Pau Pitarch Fernández. To Ethan Bushelle, Andrew Campana and Ed von Aderkas, Lena Hasanova, Ho Kayu, Ventsislav Kelchev

xand Ōhira Saki, Justyna Swiatkowska and Tsuruyama Kōhei, and Ueda Nanako and her sister Wakana: thank you for welcoming me into homes when I had none.
In China, I faced grim prospects in researching my topic, an increasingly sensitive subject for the current regime. I remain deeply indebted to my advisor Sodbilig at the Institute for Mongolian Studies, Inner Mongolia University, for his patient efforts in negotiating archival access on my behalf. Likewise I want to express profound gratitude to his graduate student and my reading tutor, Cholmon, for her friendship and openness throughout my stay and beyond. My first Mongolian language professor Erdenebaatar gave me lessons, bought me lunch, and presented me dictionaries. Zhou Taiping also at Inner Mongolia University always spurred me on with his infectious energy and zeal. Janet Upton and the staff of the Fulbright Office in Beijing arranged my institutional affiliation and provided guidance from afar. Other scholars offered valuable advice, gifted rare books, and granted archival access: Timur at the Inner Mongolia Region Library, Oyungerel at Inner Mongolia University, Professor Soyolma at Hulunbuir College, and Dashnima in the local government of the Evenk Autonomous Banner, whom I met by chance at a Buriyad wedding banquet on the steppe. Burged, at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, continued my language training in Mongolian bi č ig later in Cambridge. Several friends, both old and new, insured that I would not leave China empty-handed. Uugan worked unfailingly as my intrepid research assistant. Helen Gao and Mirshad Ghalip helped me purchase used books online, while Chogmandola, now at the Inner Mongolia Academy of Social Sciences, procured copies of oral histories on my behalf. Gu Songjie and Zhao Xiaotong photographed an entire book for me at Central Minorities University. Evelyn Boettcher aided in navigating the bureaucratic maze of Inner Mongolia University and secured my lodging. I thank Felicia Sonmez and Angela Sun for their gracious hospitality during my stay in Beijing. Okuyama Ariɣun and

xi his family hosted me for a weekend in the Hulunbuir grasslands. Dong Yuting and Hua Rui, my k ō hai at Harvard, obliged me on a fool’s errand to track down a long lost copy of an economic survey in Harbin. We failed, but I know that some day we will find this document.
I relied on help from librarians and friends to access other collections in the United States.
At Harvard-Yenching, I thank Kuniko McVey, who first initiated me into the National Diet Library when I was an undergraduate and has advised me ever since. David Weimer located cartographic depictions of Manchukuo at the Harvard Map Collection. Mari Nakahara, formerly of the Asian Division at the Library of Congress, guided me through their labyrinthine cache of materials. Gina Anne Tam conveyed precious, singular copies of books from Stanford University. Brian Vivier helped me fill in the final pieces of the dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania this summer.
Several conferences gave me the intellectual space to test out ideas for my nascent chapters. I thank Micah Muscolino, Miya Qiong, Norman Smith, Zhang Ling, among others, for organizing some of these spirited exchanges. In particular, the Association for Asian Studies and the Social Science Research Council hosted a workshop on “Dispossession, Capital, and the State” which reoriented the dissertation at a critical time. At various stages of the project, conversations with and comments from David Atwill, Christopher Atwood, Azuma Eiichiro, Dani Botsman, Susan Burns, Sarah Cameron, Arash Khazeni, Kate McDonald, Janis Mimura, Mizuno Hiromi, Alyssa Park, Norman Smith, David Sneath, and Wang Yi shaped its framing enormously. Without the encouragement of Connie Chiang, Dallas Denery, Matthew Klingle, Vyjayanthi Selinger, Emily Wanderer, and my writing partner, Peggy Wang, I would not have completed the dissertation while teaching at Bowdoin College.

    Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008 Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: http://crd-net.org/ Email: [email protected] One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights Silencing Complaints: Human Rights Abuses Against Petitioners in China A report by Chinese Human Rights Defenders In its Special Series on Human Rights and the Olympics Abstract As China prepares to host the Olympics, this report finds that illegal interception and arbitrary detention of petitioners bringing grievances to higher authorities have become more systematic and extensive, especially in the host city of the Olympic Games, Beijing. ―The most repressive mechanisms are now being employed to block the steady stream of petitioners from registering their grievances in Beijing. The Chinese government wants to erase the image of people protesting in front of government buildings, as it would ruin the meticulously cultivated impression of a contented, modern, prosperous China welcoming the world to the Olympics this summer,‖ said Liu Debo,1 who participated in the investigations and research for this report. Petitioners, officially estimated to be 10 million, are amongst those most vulnerable to human rights abuses in China today. As they bring complaints about lower levels of government to higher authorities, they face harassment and retaliation. Officially, the Chinese government encourages petitions and has an extensive governmental bureaucracy to handle them. In practice, however, officials at all levels of government have a vested interest in preventing petitioners from speaking up about the mistreatment and injustices they have suffered. The Chinese government has developed a complex extra-legal system to intercept, confine, and punish petitioners in order to control and silence them, often employing brutal means such as assault, surveillance, harassment of family members, kidnapping, and incarceration in secret detention centers, psychiatric institutions and Re-education through Labor camps.

It is therefore important to establish a rational relationship between plant δ13C and a proxy for paleoclimate reconstruction that can comprehensively reflect temperature and precipitation. By measuring the δ13C of a large 13 number of C3 herbaceous plants growing in different climate zones in northern China and collecting early reported δ C values of C3 13 herbs in this study area, the spatial features of δ C values of C3 herbs and their relationships with humidity index were analyzed. The 13 δ C values of C3 herbaceous plants in northern China ranged from –29.9‰ to –25.4‰, with the average value of –27.3‰. The average 13 δ C value of C3 herbaceous plants increased notably from the semihumid zone to the semiarid zone to the arid zone; the variation 13 ranges of δ C values of C3 plants in those 3 climatic zones were –29.9‰ to –26.7‰ (semihumid area), –28.4‰ to –25.6‰ (semiarid 13 area), and –28.0‰ to –25.4‰ (arid area).

Thenkabail Received: 26 January 2016; Accepted: 23 May 2016; Published: 14 June 2016 Abstract: This study proposed a multi-target hierarchical detection (MTHD) method to simultaneously and automatically detect multiple directional land cover changes. MTHD used a hierarchical strategy to detect both abrupt and trend land cover changes successively. First, Grubbs’ test eliminated short-lived changes by considering them outliers. Then, the Brown-Forsythe test and the combination of Tomé’s method and the Chow test were applied to determine abrupt changes. Finally, Sen’s slope estimation coordinated with the Mann-Kendall test detection method was used to detect trend changes. Results demonstrated that both abrupt and trend land cover changes could be detected accurately and automatically. The overall accuracy of abrupt land cover changes was 87.0% and the kappa index was 0.74.
