In 1945 Japan had to adjust very rapidly to sudden defeat, to the
arrival of the American Occupation and to the encounter with the
English language, together with a different outlook on many aspects
of society and government. This scholarly book is based on in-depth
interviews with people, now aged, who were school students at the
time of the Occupation and who experienced first-hand this immense
cultural change. The book considers the nature of the changing
outlook, including democratization, the new role for the Japanese
Emperor and all this represented for the place of tradition in
Japanese life and the growing emphasis on individualism away from
collectivism. It discusses the changing system of education itself,
including new structures and new textbooks, and relates the
feelings of the participants as they came to terms with defeat and
the language and culture of the former enemy. Overall, the book
provides a fascinating insight into a key period of Japanese
history.
