In this book, Tsurumi Shunsuke depicts the period following Japan's defeat and its de facto occupation by the United States. For the Japanese people, this represented an unprecedented shock--transforming overnight from proud subjects of an imperial nation into humiliated subjects of a defeated country. They were thus compelled to confront yet another intellectual "turn." The author also selected elements from postwar Japanese popular culture--including manga, pop songs, and television dramas--from 1945 to 1980, crafting them into a distinctive work that serves as the concluding volume of the entire Japanese Intellectual History series.
