Ward explores the Japanese state's efforts to suppress political radicalism in the 1920s and 1930s. Ward traces the evolution of an antiradical law called the Peace Preservation Law, from its initial application to suppress communism and anticolonial nationalism?what authorities deemed thought crime?to its expansion into an elaborate system to reform and ideologically convert thousands of thought criminals throughout the Japanese Empire. To enforce the law, the government enlisted a number of nonstate actors, who included monks, family members, and community leaders. Throughout, Ward illuminates the complex processes through which the law articulated imperial ideology and how this ideology was transformed and disseminated through the law's application over its twenty-year history. In so doing, he shows how the Peace Preservation Law provides a window into understanding how modern states develop ideological apparatuses to subject their respective populations. 410 0$aAsia-Pacific. 606 $aLese majesty$xLaw and legislation$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical crimes and offenses$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1926-1945 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1912-1945 607 $aJapan$xHistory$y1912-1945 615 0$aLese majesty$xLaw and legislation$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical crimes and offenses$xHistory 676 $a345.52023109042 700 $aWard$b Max M.$f1973-$01342920 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910676688903321 996 $aThought crime$93066779 997 $aUNINA
