In this talk, Miriam Kingsberg introduces what she terms the “transwar generation” of Japanese human scientists: students of human diversity as captured by the constructs of “race” and “culture” or self and other. Born in roughly the first two decades of the twentieth century, the transwar generation was intellectually active before 1945 and responsible for rebuilding an academic tradition after Japan’s defeat in World War II.
