One of Japan's most important intellectuals, Nambara Shigeru
defended Tokyo Imperial University against its rightist critics and
opposed Japan's war. His poetic diary (1936 1945), published only
after the war, documents his profound disaffection. In 1945 Nambara
became president of Tokyo University and was an eloquent and ardent
spokesman for academic freedom. Among his most impressive speeches
are two memorials to fallen student-soldiers, which directly
confront Nambara's wartime dilemma: what and how to advise students
called up to fight a war he did not believe in. In this first
English-language collection of his key work, historian and
translator Richard H. Minear introduces Nambara's career and
thinking before presenting translations of the most important of
Nambara's essays, poems, and speeches. A courageous but lonely
voice of conscience, Nambara is one of the few mid-century Japanese
to whom we can turn for inspiration during that dark period in
world history."
