Recenzii

Professor Frattolillo has written a "must read" book on postwar Japanese history. He challenges dominant narratives of Americanization and the success story of democratization to reveal how Japanese people in the postwar period engaged inkasutoriculture as a form of resistance. One of the most creative, original histories of postwar Japan I have seen.

Oliviero Frattolillo looks at the immediate aftermath of WWII from the perspective of Japan and argues that a new private sphere emerged from within the society rather than as the result of the country’s Americanization. A brilliant pioneering work on Japan’skasutoriculture.

Oliviero Frattolillo superbly explores the external and internal processes of changes culminating in the kasutori culture, taking readers on a fascinating journey into the world of defeated Japan. This book surprisingly offers an enlightening and compelling contribution on one of the most controversial period of modern Japanese history.
