Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.
即便那些日本评论家们“由此及彼”动辄比较的陈词滥调早就让人心生厌倦厌倦,但越是深入地研究进入日本的历史,就会越觉得日本的中国的共同点确实贯穿了古代、现代、当代,历史、文化、社会和经济,就会越发觉得——有这样一个镜子一般的对照组实在是太过于绝妙了,而即使是中...
评分 评分 评分这是一本只有147页的小书,作者是荷兰的克里斯托弗,该书内容简洁,重点对日本现代化进程中的史实进行表述,辅以探究日本文化根基。但是在探究文化方面,这本书远不如鲁尼本尼迪克特的《菊与刀》。两本书各有千秋,读者可以各取所需。 看了这本书才知道,中国和日本曾...
评分《现代日本》介绍了明治以来的日本现代史,可以作为了解现代日本政治史的启蒙读物。在多数国人眼中,日本是墙头草,势利眼,否认历史的无耻之徒。本书通过剖析其民族心理解释了日本民族特点的来源。让人理性的认识了日本的政治逻辑。 德川幕府结束了战国时期的群雄...
5/5-5/7/2020)写得不错,覆盖内容挺多也很清楚。从黑船开航开头(还有它之前的织田信长到幕府,让我补了一下从《银魂》里学到的知识233)讲到了90年代,帮我梳理了一下时间线。高光出现在三岛由纪夫,他小胸一挺,小胯一歪,霹雳吧啦地对着军队痛心疾首一番,然鹅,听众毫无反应,因为根本听不到他叨叨了啥。。。我感觉这段作者就是来搞笑的(扶额
评分细致入微的同时能做到宏观把握,一书知日。

评分实在太概括了,同时因为注释少很难估计事实和评论的可靠度
评分虽然我也没读过几本VSI,但这本确实是读过里面最好的
