Gordon argues that such phenomena as riots, labor disputes, and union organizing can best be understood as part of an early twentieth-century movement for "imperial democracy" shaped by the nineteenth-century drive to promote capitalism and build a modern nation and empire. When the propertied, educated leaders of this movement gained a share of power in the 1920s, they disagreed on how far to go toward incorporating working men and women into an expanded body politic. For their part, workers became ambivalent toward working within the imperial democratic system. In this context, the intense polarization of laborers and owners during the Depression helped ultimately to destroy the legitimacy of imperial democracy.Gordon suggests that the thought and behavior of Japanese workers both reflected and furthered the intense concern with popular participation and national power that has marked Japan's modern history. He points to a post-World War II legacy for imperial democracy in both the organization of the working class movement and the popular willingness to see GNP growth as an index of national glory. Importantly, Gordon shows how historians might reconsider the roles of tenant farmers, students, and female activists, for example, in the rise and transformation of imperial democracy. 410 0$aTwentieth-century Japan ;$v1. 606 $aWorking class$xPolitical activity$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor disputes$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor movement$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRiots$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical participation$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y20th century 610 $a1920s. 610 $a19th century. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aactivists. 610 $aasian history. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $aeastern world. 610 $aeconomic depression. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aempire. 610 $afeminist. 610 $afinance. 610 $agnp. 610 $ahistorian. 610 $aimperial democracy. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese government. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $ajapanese politics. 610 $alabor disputes. 610 $alabor history. 610 $alabor unions. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodern world. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprewar. 610 $ariots. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $atenant farmers. 610 $atokyo. 610 $aunions. 610 $awartime. 610 $awwii. 615 0$aWorking class$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aLabor disputes$xHistory 615 0$aLabor movement$xHistory 615 0$aRiots$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical participation$xHistory 676 $a322/.2/095209041 700 $aGordon$b Andrew$f1952-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01017492 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247933003316 996 $aLabor and Imperial Democracy in Prewar Japan$92386952 997 $aUNISA
