Description

"Labour and Imperial Democracy in Pre-war Japan" examines the political role of working men and women in Tokyo and reinterprets the broader dynamics of Japan's pre-war political history. Gordon sees riots, labour disputes, and union organizing in the early 20th century as part of a movement for "imperial democracy", the unanticipated product of the 19th-century drive to promote capitalism and build a modern nation and empire.
