The first two decades of the twenty-first century have witnessed a
rise of populism and decline of public confidence in many of the
formal institutions of democracy. This crisis of democracy has
stimulated searches for alternative ways of understanding and
enacting politics. Against this background, Tessa Morris-Suzuki
explores the long history of informal everyday political action in
the Japanese context. Despite its seemingly inflexible and
monolithic formal political system, Japan has been the site of many
fascinating small-scale experiments in 'informal life politics':
grassroots do-it-yourself actions which seek not to lobby
governments for change, but to change reality directly, from the
bottom up. She explores this neglected history by examining an
interlinked series of informal life politics experiments extending
from the 1910s to the present day.
