The Emergence of Modern Japan - An Introductory History Since 1853 (Paperback)

1853 saw the end of Japan's self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world. Hunter concentrates on the following 100 years' development - political, social and economic changes and the influence of industrialization - but places that period within the context of Japan's history before and after. An in-depth study, of interest to readers already acquainted with Japanese history. (Kirkus UK)

The main emphasis of this book is upon political, social and economic developments, as conditioned by Japan's interaction with the outside world, the advance of industrialisation and the emergence of the Japanese nation state. Unlike previous textbooks on the history of modern Japan, Janet Hunter's book adopts a thematic approach which makes the period much more accessible for readers who wish to pursue their particular interests throughout the period. Moreover, it will also establish a greater awareness of the cultural and institutional continuities which are crucial to any proper understanding of modern Japan.
