It deserves to be read not only for its fascinating glimpses of Japanese society, economy and culture, but also for the comparative light it implicitly sheds on other advanced capitalist societies and their not always acknowledged arcs of uneven historical change. -- Carol Gluck, George Sansom Professor of History, Columbia University, USA\u003cbr\u003eThe book’s focus on the post-1945 period is a welcome update to the new-landmark 1993 collection Postwar Japan as History, which set the parameters of postwar Japanese historiography over the subsequent two decades. This volume may provide a similar function, engaging as it does with history’s influence on and by other disciplinary approaches in recent decades, notably in the fields of transnational history and memory and heritage studies. -- Mark Pendleton, University of Sheffield, UK * The Historian *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Revisiting Postwar Japan, \u003ci\u003eChristopher Gerteis and Timothy S.
