The Economic Development of Modern Japan, 1868-1945 by Steven Tolliday Pdf

This two-volume set presents the key contributions (including less well-known work first published in Japan) on the economic history of Japan from the Meiji Restoration to World War II. Volume I (27 contributions) discusses the patterns of economic development, land and agriculture (including its interaction with industrialization), the evolution of distinctive structures and forms of Japanese management and enterprise systems, and management and technology transfer. The 24 articles in Volume II discuss banking and finance, education and human capital, labor (the creation of a new world of labor, and the consolidation of new patterns of labor and work organizations), the transformation of women's social and economic position in Japan, and the macroeconomic implications of imperialism and war. Under each theme, Tolliday (economic and social history, U. of Leeds) includes new empirical or theoretical work that pertains to the major debates. Lacks a subject index. c. Book News Inc.

Japanese Military and Civilian Award Documents, 1868-1945 by Michael J. Martin Pdf

The history of Japan during the Imperial Age, 1868 to 1945, is rich and complex. Japan went from a feudal and secluded Asian nation to a world powerhouse in less than fifty years. Japan's relationship with the United States was just as complicated, moving from reluctant trading partner to ally in war to enemy. The documents from this era are a piece of that history. This book is an introduction to the field of collecting Japanese award documents. Over sixty-five documents are featured in color photographs that highlight their beauty and details. The documents range from awards given to farmers for growing crops to the Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, signed by the emperor and given to a prime minister. The book also features tools to help the collector translate and identify documents, as well as to store and display them.

Meiji 1868 by Paul Akamatsu Pdf

Among the revolutionary movements which shook the nineteenth-century world, the change of government in Japan in 1868 occupies a special place. A new, dynamic ruling class provoked the overthrow of the old rule of the shogun and in a few years the visible structure of feudal society disappeared. The founders of the new Meiji rule had themselves been warriors and thought they were able to resist foreign pressure, but very quickly they adopted western dress gave their country a modern army, built railways and contributed to establishing a great empire. The nature of this transformation has been regarded by western historians as "revolution" and "restoration" – two quite contradictory ideas. But in this book Paul Akamatsu clarifies the picture of the forces at work in this conversion of a backward feudal state into a modern power in a few decades.

Recreating Japanese Women, 1600-1945 by Gail Lee Bernstein Pdf

In thirteen wide-ranging essays, scholars and students of Asian and women's studies will find a vivid exploration of how female roles and feminine identity have evolved over 350 years, from the Tokugawa era to the end of World War II. Starting from the premise that gender is not a biological given, but is socially constructed and culturally transmitted, the authors describe the forces of change in the construction of female gender and explore the gap between the ideal of womanhood and the reality of Japanese women's lives. Most of all, the contributors speak to the diversity that has characterized women's experience in Japan. This is an imaginative, pioneering work, offering an interdisciplinary approach that will encourage a reconsideration of the paradigms of women's history, hitherto rooted in the Western experience.

Japanese Political History Since the Meiji Restoration, 1868-2000 by R. Sims Pdf

Japanese Political History Since the Meiji Restoration, 1868-2000 explores, through a combination of narrative and analysis, the changes in the political process which lay behind Japan's transformation into a modern nation state; its successive turn toward militarism, fascism, and the Pacific War; and the imposition of a fully democratic constitution. Sims examines closely such central topics as the Meiji renovation, samurai modernisers, the rise of liberal political parties, the Meiji constitution, 'Taisho democracy', the wartime changes in the political system, postwar reforms and the 'reverse course', four decades of Liberal Democratic rule, and the shake-up of Japanese politics during the 1990s. No other book has covered Japanese political history over the entire period since 1868 in such detail, and the present volume aims to fill the gap between the various general histories of modern Japan and the ever-increasing monographic literature.
