Regional studies; Nationalism

Nationalism was one of the most important forces in 20th century Japan. It pervaded almost all aspects of Japanese life, but was a far from simple notion, frequently changing, and

often meaning different things to different people. This book brings together interesting new work by a range of international leading scholars who consider Japanese nationalism in a wide variety of its aspects. Overall, the essays provide

many new insights and ways of thinking on what continues to

be a crucially important factor shaping current developments in Japan.

This book re-examines Japanese nationalism in the 19th and 20th centuries, in the light of new theoretical writing, and using a comparative perspective. It considers Japanese nationalism not only as a political phenomenon but also as a crucial factor shaping everyday behaviour and thought. The contributors to this volume bring different approaches to the analysis of a complex phenomenon. An introductory chapter sets the essays in their theoretical context. A concluding chapter compares Japanese nationalism with its European, American and Asian counterparts. Sandra Wilson, Murdoch University, Stephen S. Large, University of
