Masao Miyoshi

Born in Tokyo, he graduated from the University of Tokyo, majoring in English, and earned a Fulbright Fellowship to gain advanced degrees at New York University.[2][3] Specializing in Victorian literature, he first taught at the University of California Berkeley, where he started working on Japanese literature as well.[2] Eventually moving to the University of California, San Diego, he increasingly focused his writings on the relations between Japan and the United States and the problems of globalization.

Miyoshi's books include The Divided Self: A Perspective on the Literature of the Victorians (1969), Accomplices of Silence: The Modern Japanese Novel (1975), As We Saw Them: The First Japanese Embassy to the United States (1860) (1979), Off Center: Power and Culture Relations Between Japan and the United States (1991), and The University in 'Globalization': Culture, Economy, and Ecology (2003). He also edited and co-edited anthologies on globalization, post-modernism, and the future of area studies.[3]
