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.
