1876年至1945年间，数以千计的日本平民--商人、商人、妓女、记者、教师和冒险家--离开祖国，前往朝鲜半岛开始新生活。尽管大多数移民主要是受个人利益的驱使，其次才是国家利益，但他们平凡的生活和国家的野心与日本帝国的崛起密不可分。尽管形成了20世纪最大的殖民社区之一，但这些定居者及其建立帝国的活动几乎从日本在韩国存在的公众记忆中消失了。内田俊利用多语言档案中以前未使用过的材料，着眼于国家和军事控制的官方机构，重点关注这些定居者模糊的历史，特别是1910年代至30年代之间的第一代“拓荒者”，他们作为朝鲜的草根推动者和摇摆者，积极调停对朝鲜的殖民管理。通过揭示定居者领袖在多方之间--定居者社区和政府将军之间、日本殖民者和朝鲜殖民者之间、殖民地和大都市之间--所扮演的被淡化但充满活力的角色，这项研究考察了这些“帝国中间人”如何在为日本帝国的扩张计划做出贡献的同时，促进他们的商业和政治利益。
Between 1876 and 1945, thousands of Japanese civilians--merchants, traders, prostitutes, journalists, teachers, and adventurers--left their homeland for a new life on the Korean peninsula. Although most migrants were guided primarily by personal profit and only secondarily by national interest, their mundane lives and the state's ambitions were inextricably entwined in the rise of imperial Japan. Despite having formed one of the largest colonial communities in the twentieth century, these settlers and their empire-building activities have all but vanished from the public memory of Japan's presence in Korea. Drawing on previously unused materials in multi-language archives, Jun Uchida looks behind the official organs of state and military control to focus on the obscured history of these settlers, especially the first generation of "pioneers" between the 1910s and 1930s who actively mediated the colonial management of Korea as its grassroots movers and shakers. By uncovering the downplayed but dynamic role played by settler leaders who operated among multiple parties--between the settler community and the Government-General, between Japanese colonizer and Korean colonized, between colony and metropole--this study examines how these "brokers of empire" advanced their commercial and political interests while contributing to the expansionist project of imperial Japan.
