Christopher Goto-Jones, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, University of Leiden
Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.

评分这是一本只有147页的小书,作者是荷兰的克里斯托弗,该书内容简洁,重点对日本现代化进程中的史实进行表述,辅以探究日本文化根基。但是在探究文化方面,这本书远不如鲁尼本尼迪克特的《菊与刀》。两本书各有千秋,读者可以各取所需。 看了这本书才知道,中国和日本曾...

導論對「現代」的概念很清晰,不賣弄,值得參考。
评分I am curious, why China and Japan chose totally different attitude toward so-called great power of western world. And I wonder after I read this book, if it were China that had played the role to lead the process of modernization of east Asia, then could China, Japan and Korea be transformed into an entity which could resist Western culture?
