- On the use of the term neocolonialism, see Stavrianos, Global Rift, pp. 177-78.
- Harrison, Inside the Third World, ch. 17: "The Alienation Machine: The Unedu-
cated and the Miseducated." See p. 325: "It is bad enough that French children must
addle their brains with these stilted and constipated works, but to teach them to
African children is positively criminal." (I don't know. I am moved by Andromaque.) - Mill, Principles of Political Economy, cited in Meier, "Theoretical Issues," pp.
42^3. - On the "costly and futile wars" of Latin America, see Harrison, Inside the Third
World, p. 384 f. But add to his list the conflicts between Mexico and the United States
and abortive incursions from the United States into British Canada. Some Mexican
maps still show Texas and the southwestern United States as Mexican territory, wait-
ing to be reclaimed. - Harrison, Inside the Third World, p. 388, cites S. E. Finer to the effect that of 104
coups d'état between 1962 and 1975, all but a handful took place in Third World
countries. In 1975, one quarter of all member states in the UN were ruled by regimes
that had come to power via a coup. - Alam, "Colonialism, Decolonisation and Growth Rates," p. 235 and n. 2, would
not agree. He notes that in the nineteenth century those countries that developed
modern manufacturing sectors were "either sovereign or self-governing states" and in-
fers that "domestic control over economic policies was a necessary condition for in-
dustrialisation." - India 23,627 miles; China 665 miles—Kerr, "Colonialism and Technological
Choice," pp. 93-94. On belated British support for Indian iron and steel manufacture,
see Bahl, "Emergence," and her Making of the Indian Working Class. - See the response to a fall-off of Japanese manufactured imports during World War
I. Ho, "Colonialism and Development," in Myers and Peattie, eds., Japanese Colonial
Empire, p. 365. - Mark Peattie in Myers and Peattie, eds., Japanese Colonial Empire, p. 23. On
these data and the special reasons for development in Korea and Taiwan, where Japan-
ese policy was further shaped by strategic military considerations and the need for
cheap food, see Alam, "Colonialism," pp. 250-53; and Hayami and Ruttan, "Korean
Rice, Taiwan Rice." - On Japanese complacency in the matter of Korea, see the N.T. Times, 12 Octo-
ber 1995, p. A-5; 14 November 1995, p. A-14. On Korean memory and outrage,
Yoichi Serikawa, "Deux peuples empêtrés dans leur passé [two peoples mired in their
past]," Courrier international, 211 (17-25 Nov. 1994), p. 32, with illustration of a
wax figure exhibit in the Korean independence memorial showing Japanese army tor-
ture of a Korean patriot. On the larger matter of aggression before and during World
War II, see Buruma, The Wages of Guilt. The latest "flap" has come over the statement
of a Japanese official that "Japan did some good things. Japan built schools in every
town in Korea to raise the standard of education and also constructed railroads and
ports." - The pro-Japanese point of view, as expressed by a Westerner, speaks of "modern
and superbly efficient police forces, supplemented by the clever exploitation of in-
digenous systems of community control." Peattie in Myers and Peattie, eds., The
Japanese Colonial Empire, p. 27. - Ibid., p. 47.
