Where it came from
Published by the Cornell University East Asia Program, this scholarly volume examines the critical literary discourse that emerged in Japan during the decade immediately following the surrender in 1945. It contextualizes the intellectual climate of an era defined by the collapse of imperial ideology and the subsequent negotiation of a new national identity under the American occupation.
Michael K. Bourdaghs provides a rigorous analysis of the shifting aesthetic and political priorities of Japanese critics during this volatile decade. The work is widely regarded in academic circles as a foundational text for understanding how Japanese writers attempted to reconstruct their literary traditions and grapple with themes of trauma, censorship, and democratization amidst the ruins of the Pacific War.
