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.
Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
I am curious, why China and Japan chose totally different attitude toward so-called great power of western world. And I wonder after I read this book, if it were China that had played the role to lead the process of modernization of east Asia, then could China, Japan and Korea be transformed into an entity which could resist Western culture?
評分A succinct introduction to Japan's transformation to its contemporary polity. The discussions on Japan's paradoxical self-image are quite intriguing.
評分150623-151102 越南實習第二周百無聊賴時開始在辦公室裏看的,在首爾飛華盛頓14個小時的航班上看完瞭。寫得不錯的入門書。印象最深的好像是作者提到哥斯拉怪獸片的興起和核能的利用以及工業發展導緻的環境汙染的聯係,迴到jhu查課錶發現還真的有一門於此有關的環境史的課 haha
評分日本人參拜靖國神社真沒什麼好大驚小怪呀,他們是想快點擺脫曆史包袱move on,而非“真心”道歉 (這聽來確實很日本)。然而書裏也說國傢不是可以隨意人格化的,那種強迫彆國道歉、否則就說該國傢“人格分裂”的亞洲國傢窩覺得很不可思議。
評分Post-modernism的描述很不錯。可以結閤其他描述日本的文本一起看。
这本书让我对历史兴趣大增啊!逻辑简单清晰,就是流水账形式,呈现日本从19世纪中叶被美国人打开关门从而被迫卷入现代化,到如今进入21世纪,近200年的现代化历程。这种宏大的叙事视角使书读起来特别爽啊!有种上帝视角的蜜汁错觉啊! 这本书读完对于1853年以后每个历史阶段的...
評分《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...
評分在现代与传统的探究上不仅存在很多伪命题,还有很多不怀好意的人在搬弄是非。 对于一些表面可见的传统,我总是持这样一套简单的逻辑,就像以淳朴的农村为例,最初粗犷的发展会一步步侵蚀农村,体现在环境破坏人口流失人心不古等等方面,随后随着经济的发展,或多或少,发展的福...

評分这其实算我解答疑惑的一本书,自从看了《菊与刀》这本人类学著作后,就对日本在二战后的发展十分感兴趣。 《菊与刀》着重将日本人刻画成矛盾的结合体:即忠诚又背叛,即坚忍同时又反抗,即热爱艺术怀有浪漫气息,又充满了残忍狡诈的勇武。日本人的性格被凝...
