HIST 376 - Modern Japan |
This course will explore the history of modern Japan from its beginnings in the late sixteenth century to today, with a focus on the period after 1800. This class will examine major events in Japanese history, such as the creation of the Tokugawa order, the Meiji Restoration, the establishment of the Japanese Empire, World War Two, the occupation of Japan by the United States, and the spread of Japanese popular culture. An important theme will be how foreign ideas have been selectively adapted in Japan, and how the Japanese have sought to establish their own identity vis-à-vis Asia and the West.
