Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In the past quarter-century, gender has emerged as a lively area of
inquiry for historians and other scholars, and gender analysis has
suggested important revisions of the "master narratives" of
national histories--the dominant, often celebratory tales of the
successes of a nation and its leaders. Although modern Japanese
history has not yet been restructured by a foregrounding of gender,
historians of Japan have begun to embrace gender as an analytic
category.
The sixteen chapters in this volume treat men as well as women,
theories of sexuality as well as gender prescriptions, and same-sex
as well as heterosexual relations in the period from 1868 to the
present. All of them take the position that history is gendered;
that is, historians invariably, perhaps unconsciously, construct a
gendered notion of past events, people, and ideas. Together, these
essays construct a history informed by the idea that gender matters
because it was part of the experience of people and because it
often has been a central feature in the construction of modern
ideologies, discourses, and institutions. Separately, each chapter
examines how Japanese have (en)gendered their ideas, institutions,
and society.
