Weaving his analysis around the concept of shimin (citizen), Simon Avenell traces the development of a new vision of citizenship based on political participation, self-reliance, popular nationalism, and commitment to daily life. He traces civic activism through six phases: the cultural associations of the 1940's and 1950's, the massive U.S.-Japan Security Treaty protests of 1960, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the antipollution and antidevelopment protests of the 1960's and 1970's, movements for local government reform and the rise of new civic groups from the mid-1970's. This rich portrayal of activists and their ideas illuminates questions of democracy, citizenship, and political participation both in contemporary Japan and in other industrialized nations more generally. 606 $aCitizenship$zJapan 606 $aCivil society$zJapan 606 $aPolitical activists$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1945- 610 $aasia scholars. 610 $aasian studies. 610 $acivic activism. 610 $acivic groups. 610 $acivic thought. 610 $acontemporary japan. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $agovernment reform. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $aindustrialized nations. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese citizens. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $ajapanese society. 610 $alocal government. 610 $amodern history. 610 $apolitical participation. 610 $apopular nationalism. 610 $apostwar era. 610 $apostwar japan. 610 $aprotests. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $aself reliance. 610 $ashimin mythology. 610 $asocial activists. 610 $asocial cultural history. 610 $asocial movements. 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aPolitical activists 676 $a323.6/0952 700 $aAvenell$b Simon Andrew$01025247 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786713803321 996 $aMaking Japanese citizens$93728611 997 $aUNINA
