Synopsis
The Modern History of Japan paints a richly nuanced and strikingly original portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history. It takes students from the days of the shogunate - the feudal overlordship of the Tokugawa family - through the modernizing revolution launched by midlevel samurai in the late nineteenth century; the adoption of Western hairstyles, clothing, and military organization; and the nation's first experiments with mass democracy after World War I. Gordon offers the finest synthesis to date of Japan's passage through militarism, World War II, the American occupation, and the subsequent economic rollercoaster. But the true ingenuity and value of Gordon's approach lies in his close attention to the non-elite layers of society. Here students will see the influence of outside ideas, products, and culture on home life, labor unions, political parties, gender relations, and popular entertainment. Most importantly, it illuminates the interconnectedness of Japanese developments with world history, demonstrating how Japan's historical passage represents a variation of a process experienced by many nations, and shows how the Japanese narrative forms one part of the interwoven fabric of modern history. This new edition incorporates increased coverage of both Japan's role within East Asia (particular with China, Korea, and Manchuria), as well as cultural and intellectual history., A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present , Second Edition, paints a richly nuanced and strikingly original portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history.

- i***n (8)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe seller was kind enough to send me a USPS tracking number so that I could have a good idea as to when I’d receive my item. It came a day later than expected (probably due to the cold snap and snow storm here) and the seller was quick to respond when I voiced my concern on its arrival. It was packaged very well, no water damage or dings. Would recommend buying books from this seller!Nationalism by John Hutchinson (#295793632623)
