On publication in France, Bouissou's depiction of modern Japan was
acclaimed as `the best of its kind', and this translation has been
updated to cover events up till 1999, and augmented by an overview
of the Japanese historical legacy before 1945. In the tradition of
French scholarship, which rejects a too narrow focus, this textbook
encompasses all the aspects of the transformation that raised Japan
from the ashes of defeat to the status of `an economic model'.
Bouissou closely relates economic growth to social change and
politics - of which he gives a particulary detailed account. He
shows how these upheavals affected the Japanese value system,
collective mind, way of living and culture, illustrating his
argument from post-war Japanese literature and cinema. The
combination of this broad approach, and provocative analysis which
emphasises social dislocation rather than the much-vaunted Japanese
predilection for social harmony, distinguishes this textbook from
others in the field.
