Yukiko Koga's werk verdiept zich in de complexe verbanden tussen politieke economie, rechtsantropologie, geschiedenis en geheugen. Haar onderzoek belicht de genuanceerde postkoloniale en postimperiale betrekkingen binnen transnationaal Oost-Azië, met name tussen China en Japan. Ze onderzoekt hoe de overgang naar een marktgerichte economie in China de opvattingen over het betwiste verleden heeft veranderd, en zo nieuwe dynamieken onthult in hoe beide naties omgaan met hun gedeelde keizerlijke erfenis. Koga's onderzoek biedt een boeiende kijk op de blijvende invloed van historische ervaringen op hedendaagse economische en politieke landschappen.

In Inheritance of Loss, anthropologist Yukiko Koga tackles complex questions of how two nations previously at war come to terms with their troubled past. Her site is Northeast China, where Japan s imperial ambitions were pursued to devastating and murderous ends in the twentieth century. There the landscape, which is still peppered with missiles and unexploded chemical weapons from the war, is the backdrop for refurbished imperial architecture and revived Japanese businesses. But the national wounds of China and Japan s history problem cannot be stitched together solely through international trade. The author shows why mutual recognition of wartime atrocities is the only thing that can allay the persistent and sporadically explosive tensions between two of the most powerful countries in the Eastern hemisphere. A milestone in memory studies that incorporates sorely needed attention to materiality and political economy, Inheritance of Loss shows just how crucial imperial legacies will continue to be despite China s and Japan s attempts to leave the past behind in pursuit of a more prosperous future."
