Her focus, the Ina Valley, served as a gateway to the mountainous interior of central Japan. Using methods drawn from historical geography and economic development, Wigen maps the valley's changes-from a region of small settlements linked in an autonomous economic zone, to its transformation into a peripheral part of the global silk trade, dependent on the state. Yet the processes that brought these changes-industrial growth and political centralization-were crucial to Japan's rise to imperial power. Wigen's elucidation of this makes her book compelling reading for a broad audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKären Wigen\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of History at Duke University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 356\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 9.28 x 6.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45424635248742,"sku":"9780520084209","price":124.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/djVML3UyQ2hwZGxlSW1WeHZsNUQzZz09.webp?v=1775599263","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-making-of-a-japanese-periphery-1750-1920-volume-3-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
