"Thomas LaMarre has written a fascinating archaeology of how the national imagination of modern Japan has colonized ancient scriptures of the archipelago to fabricate a glorious lineage and cultural ancestry for itself. "Uncovering Heian Japan" also recovers the rich prehistory of cosmopolitan poetic exchanges between the archipelago and the Middle Kingdom that is foreclosed by state-sanctioned cultural histories of both modern Japan and China."--Pheng Cheah, University of California, Berkeley
