Abstract

Andrea Geiger's book, "Converging Empires: Citizens and Subjects in the North Pacific Borderlands, 1867–1945," explores the diplomatic histories of Alaska and British Columbia, focusing on the Indigenous nations and Japanese immigrants in the region. Geiger argues that Japan was the third empire converging in the North Pacific coast alongside the United States and Great Britain. The book examines the complexities of colonial power, the racialization of space, and the shared histories of Indigenous North Americans and Japanese migrants. Geiger's work sheds light on the connections and negotiations between non-European immigrants and Indigenous peoples in the borderlands. [Extracted from the article]
