First published in 1981, this book, a political history of
organised labour in Japan during the 1920s and 1930s, broke ground
in research on the Japanese socialist movement by examining the
movement from the perspective of the unions, which then provided
the socialist parties with much of their popular support. Focusing
on the Japan General Federation of Labour, an important pacesetter
for labour politics, the author analyses why a significant
cross-section of organised workers began the 1920s with promising
vitality and high hopes of contributing to a progressive, socialist
reconstruction of Japan, only to abandon this political commitment
in the 1930s, with adverse consequences both for the unions and for
their political party allies. Throughout, the author assesses
Japanese and Western interpretations of Japanese society and
politics in seeking a balanced understanding of the dynamics and
significance of popular social protest in the critical interwar
decades.
