I may just have to excerpt from Lye's analyses of his war-time reportage, as I can't get ahold of the volume you mention on this campus and don't have time to get to another one this afternoon....The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37839658.post-84584767964236143552007-04-26T21:55:00.000-04:002007-04-26T21:55:00.000-04:00Outside of the Lye -- which I haven't actually rea...Outside of the Lye -- which I haven't actually read -- I can't think of anyone who discusses Japan in <I>The Iron Heel</I>. That said, the representation of it falls squarely within London's own contradictory opinion of the Japanese: on the one hand, he admires them; on the other, they're part of "the Yellow Peril." So in <I>The Iron Heel</I>, you have their Oligarchy take over China, but you also have their socialist revolutionaries lauded for their commitment and bravery. A better place to look for London's thought on the Japanese would be <I>Jack London Reports</I>, which contains his reportage on the Sino-Japanese War.SEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762500797381296097noreply@blogger.com
