In a single short book as elegant as it is wise, Ian Buruma makes sense of the most fateful span of Japan’s history, the period that saw as dramatic a transformation as any country has ever known. In the course of little more than a hundred years from the day Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in his black ships, this insular, preindustrial realm mutated into an expansive military dictatorship that essentially supplanted the British, French, Dutch, and American empires in Asia before plunging to utter ruin, eventually emerging under American tutelage as a pseudo-Western-style democracy and economic dynamo.
What explains the seismic changes that thrust this small island nation so violently onto the world stage? In part, Ian Buruma argues, the story is one of a newly united nation that felt it must play catch-up to the established Western powers, just as Germany and Italy did, a process that involved, in addition to outward colonial expansion, internal cultural consolidation and the manufacturing of a shared heritage. But Japan has always been both particularly open to the importation of good ideas and particularly prickly about keeping their influence quarantined, a bipolar disorder that would have dramatic consequences and that continues to this day. If one book is to be read in order to understand why the Japanese seem so impossibly strange to many Americans, Inventing Japan is surely it.

問老師藉的一本英文小冊子(但啃瞭半天),看完後深感“我特麼對近代日本史懂個屁為什麼要囫圇吞棗???”喜歡本書甚於入駐“理想國”譯叢的布魯瑪的另一本《罪孽的報應》(大概本書比較不“記者”),現實意義也更勝一籌。
評分簡練而老到的現代日本史,挺好的書,薄薄一本。
評分The price of pacifism is a total dependency on others to defend you. Whenever Japan took a path counter to the U.S., the country suffered; and whenever the two countries worked together closely, Japan prospered. “I look forward to the day when Japanese free themselves and can finally bid the black ships farewell, because they no longer need them.”

可以当日本近现代简史来读,书里面吉光片羽的点不少,可是系统性嘛,毕竟日本是个很复杂的国家,不是那么容易把握的。特别喜欢书里的一句话“对于一个纯粹视扩大经济实力为政治目标的国家而言,再谈什么内涵纯属庸人自扰”。日本有时真的像麦克阿瑟嘴里的小孩,非常善于模仿,...
評分 評分一 看世界近代史,真的是一件很有趣的事情。德国人觉得自己是“苍天选来在宇宙史上居于最高地位的天子”,是“领导世界走向德国文明势必普及的光辉前程的使者”,但是英国人和法国人去看不起自己,德国人在欧洲也没朋友;俄国人觉得巴黎是颓废腐败的旧时代,未来的世界要靠俄国...
評分在平成时代最后一年,看到了布鲁玛所著《创造日本》,更确切的说应该是创造日本近现代的明治大正昭和时代。 私以为本书以三方面而推进。一为讲述近现代日本发端于明治时代民族主义思想。根源于大和民族内心深处的寻求承认的斗争自古以来便促使日本不断学习中国。这种寻求身份和...
