• Dangerously Convenient: Suppressing Esperanto and the Latin Script in China and Japan during the 1920s and 1930s

  Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution)   Single Author

  This paper deals ultimately with the question of language rights, specifically the rights of people in China and Japan to have access to information, to be able to participate in society through full literacy. Scholars have only just begun to write the history of the Esperanto movement and the movement to use the Roman alphabet as an alternative script in China and Japan. Democracy was a major concern of both movements and since advocates in these movements envisioned a completely new culture, they inevitably faced an "uphill battle." This is a preliminary discussion of the sociopolitical dimensions of these two movements and their inter-connections, resurrecting a once-popular vision of a path toward a modernity that was never taken, to understand what obstacles those advocates faced and still face.
