Japan's Emergence as a Modern State: Political and Economic Problems of the Meiji PeriodUBC Press, 2000 - 302 Seiten Originally in 1940, this classic published work by a leading Japanologist examines the problems and accomplishments of the Meiji period (1868-1912), which formed the roots of modern Japan. E. H. Norman reveals how elites maintained their political and economic domination during the period. He writes not simply about the emergence of modern Japan but also about the emergence of modernity itself. In this anniversary edition, leading American, Canadian, and Japanese scholars have contributed ten short essays reassessing the work and life of E. H. Norman. A new preface and introduction by Lawrence Woods and new forewords by R. Gordon Robertson, Len Edwards, and William L. Holland supplement the original text as well. |
