About this title

Review:

"Peasants, Rebels, Women, and Outcastes is an indispensable source for anyone wishing to know--or teach--about Japan's traumatic emergence as a modern nation. Professor Hane's sympathy for the great number of individuals who were ground beneath the wheels of 'progress' is apparent on every page, and his ability to give vibrant and compelling voice to those usually dismissed as voiceless is extraordinary."
