Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course begins by looking at the nature of Japanese society and culture during the height of samurai rule under the Tokugawa regime, which set the stage for Japan's tumultuous entry into the modern world. It then examines the social, economic, and cultural transformations that occurred in Japan from its initial encounter with Western modernity, through its rise to military superpower status in the first half of the 20th century and its reemergence as an economic superpower in the second half. Students will be encouraged to gain a greater understanding of the problems that have shaped Japan, by exploring the challenges, conflicts, triumphs, and tragedies of modernization, industrialization, and nation-building as the Japanese experienced them in the 19th and 20th centuries. 1.00 units, Lecture
