  • Product Description

    After World War II, Japanese intellectuals believed that world history
    was moving inexorably toward bourgeois democracy and then socialism. But
    who would be the agentsâ??the active "subjects"â??of that revolution in
    Japan? Intensely debated at the time, this question of active
    subjectivity influenced popular ideas about nationalism and social
    change that still affect Japanese political culture today.

    In a major contribution to modern Japanese intellectual history, J.
    Victor Koschmann analyzes the debate over subjectivity. He traces the
    arguments of intellectuals from various disciplines and political
    viewpoints, and finds that despite their stress on individual autonomy,
    they all came to define subjectivity in terms of deterministic
    historical structures, thus ultimately deferring the possibility of
    radical change in Japan.

    Establishing a basis for historical dialogue about democratic
    revolution, this book will interest anyone concerned with issues of
    nationalism, postcolonialism, and the formation of identities.
