Jeffrey Guarneri- Constructed Images of Nagasaki in 1930s Japan

Description:
Jeffrey Guarneri is a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He specializes in the history of modern Japan. Guarneri discusses the images of Nagasaki that were constructed through popular media by business elites in order to strengthen and maintain their position as an important center of overseas trade, which the Great Depression and the collapsing international order, as well as friction between localism, nationalism, and internationalism, had threatened to undercut.
