Book Description

January 1989 0582494087 978-0582494084
The main emphasis of this book is upon political, social and economic developments, as conditioned by Japan's interaction with the outside world, the advance of industrialisation and the emergence of the Japanese nation state. Unlike previous textbooks on the history of modern Japan, Janet Hunter's book adopts a thematic approach which makes the period much more accessible for readers who wish to pursue their particular interests throughout the period. Moreover, it will also establish a greater awareness of the cultural and institutional continuities which are crucial to any proper understanding of modern Japan.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'The organization and brisk style should extend the appeal of the book beyond historians to a wide range of students in social science courses.' The Times Educational Supplement
