Reviews
“The great range and scope of the texts compiled in this anthology and the clarity and urgency of voice and vision which characterizes Miyoshi's critique will indubitably bring his ideas and concerns to a wider audience.” - Balthazar Becker, Social Text
“I mourn and celebrate a comrade. Here in luminous prose are the resonances: A double bind about double consciousness; a desire to keep the trivialized humanities committed to justice; a concern for the native language, for translation as active practice rather than passive convenience, for the burden of English, the political economy of globalization, and the transformation of knowledge into intellectual property; a critique of the university from within; ever mercurial, hard to situate. Il miglior fabbro.”—Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, University Professor in the Humanities, Columbia University
“Radical art, the commercialization of the university, the nation-state, Japan and the West, cultural studies, subjectivity and pronouns, ecology, the state of things from Korea to the Mexican border, or from Cardinal Newman to documenta X—such are the seemingly heterogeneous materials united by a commitment to an implacable unification of the aesthetic and the political, of attention to art and attention to globalization, which Miyoshi’s lifework holds out for us like an ideal.”—Fredric Jameson, from the foreword
“There is no denying that Masao Miyoshi’s Trespasses is a challenging yet deeply engaging collection of the writings from a major figure in Japanese studies (and one of its most outspoken critics), who could not be hemmed in by disciplinary fences. It proves that he still has much to teach those of us who walk in his footsteps.”
-- Kyu Hyun Kim Pacific Affairs
