Japan in the 1960sTen Years of Turning Points\nAuthor(s): Robert D. Eldridge, Jason M. Morgan\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032796581, 978-1032796581\nSynopsis\nEldridge and Morgan set a new paradigm for East Asian contemporary historiography by viewing the decade of the 1960s as hermeneutically powerful. From street battles over Japans security treaty with the United States, to a peace treaty with the former Japanese territory of South Korea, to Japans hosting the 1964 Summer Olympics, the 1960s in Japan was a decade of turning points. \n\nThis book is the first to see the 1960s as a historical subject in its own right and argues that the specificity and internal complexity rooted in East Asia during this period showed how East Asians were dynamic agents in shaping the decade. In this volume, contributors consider Japanese responses to a 1961 coup in the Republic of Korea; the Sat? Eisaku administrations app.
