To this day, Japan's modern ascendancy challenges many assumptions
about world history, particularly theories regarding the rise of
the west and why the modern world looks the way it does. In this
engaging new history, Brett L. Walker tackles key themes regarding
Japan's relationships with its minorities, state and economic
development, and the uses of science and medicine. The book begins
by tracing the country's early history through archaeological
remains, before proceeding to explore life in the imperial court,
the rise of the samurai, civil conflict, encounters with Europe,
and the advent of modernity and empire. Integrating the pageantry
of a unique nation's history with today's environmental concerns,
Walker's vibrant and accessible new narrative then follows Japan's
ascension from the ashes of World War II into the thriving nation
of today. It is a history for our times, posing important questions
regarding how we should situate a nation's history in an age of
environmental and climatological uncertainties.
