"Lucid and lyricala vivid history of Japan's turbocharged (and painful) modernization." The Daily TelegraphIn A History of Modern Japan, cultural historian Christopher Harding delves into the untold stories of Japan's recent historyfrom a pop star's nuclear power protest song in 2011, to Japanese feminists who fought for an equal political voice in the 1890s.Though highly successful, and typically portrayed as a unified effort, Japan's rebuilding throughout the 20th century faced a lot of domestic criticism. This storyled account gives a voice to those who felt they didn't fit in with what Japan was becoming. It's that push and pull that made the country what it is today.This book will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in Japanese culturewhether film and literature, or pop culture and mangaas big shifts in Japanese ideology and society tend to come from culture and the arts, rather than being politicallydriven. It will also be of interest to those traveling to Japan who want a better sense of the place, or anyone seeking to better understand Japan's role on the global stage.With over 100 photographs, maps and prints, A History of Modern Japan showcases the compelling story of Japan's amazing growth and its resulting struggles. For all the country's advancement, the Japanese people continue to wrestle with the notion of what it means to be Japanese in a changing world.
