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 评分细致入微的同时能做到宏观把握,一书知日。
评分Succinct and Beautiful. The history of the emergence of a modern country.
评分150623-151102 越南实习第二周百无聊赖时开始在办公室里看的,在首尔飞华盛顿14个小时的航班上看完了。写得不错的入门书。印象最深的好像是作者提到哥斯拉怪兽片的兴起和核能的利用以及工业发展导致的环境污染的联系,回到jhu查课表发现还真的有一门于此有关的环境史的课 haha
评分導論對「現代」的概念很清晰,不賣弄,值得參考。
评分实在太概括了,同时因为注释少很难估计事实和评论的可靠度
