The contributors to this book seek to offer such a view. As they examine three related themes of postwar history, the authors describe an ongoing historical process marked by unexpected changes, such as Japan's extraordinary economic growth, and unanticipated continuities, such as the endurance of conservative rule. A provocative set of interpretative essays by eminent scholars, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of twentieth-century Japan and the dilemmas facing Japan today. 110287 20 10 1993 Postwar Japan as History total:5|5:1|4:1|3:2|2:1|1:0| 5 17 10 1 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 06:39:58 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 16:04:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 14:59:15 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 14:59:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 12:37:23 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 12:37:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 13 07:48:57 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 07:48:57 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Oct 09 21:05:56 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 21:06:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jan 16 12:58:22 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 12:58:22 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Tue Jan 15 22:44:20 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 22:44:20 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jan 10 20:00:25 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 20:00:25 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 02 21:37:07 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 02 21:37:07 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Fri Jul 06 09:01:02 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 06 09:01:02 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=114540
