Modern Japan pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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
If modern technology is allowed to rule over everything, what is to become of the spirit that makes us human? Emperor Hirohito called on them to ‘endure the unendurable and bear the unbearable’.
評分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?

才看到麦克阿瑟治理时期,先记两笔。 第一次看关于日本的书,终于弄明白了很多年来都很迷惑的织田信长/丰臣秀吉/德川家康到底谁是开国一代的问题。织田信长结束了战国时代,但是拒绝天皇册封其为征夷大将军,试图完全自立。他的家臣秀吉凭借个人能力在他死后掌握大权,他试图让...
評分西方世界由于技术进步,走在了世界的前列,压制着后来崛起的新兴的民族国家,而这些国家在反抗压制的过程中逐渐找回自身的自信或者找到自己的民族的根本。日本人走的多了点,挑战西方列强的同时,摧毁了自己在东方的生存环境,以至于它不得不抛弃自己的传统,加入到西方序列,...
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...
評分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...
