Tsuneichi Miyamoto is a theorist of democracy! - Shigeki Uno (political scientist)
"The Forgotten Japanese" is one of the major works of the extraordinary folklorist Tsuneichi Miyamoto, and is still beloved and read to this day. How can we value the image of the Japanese depicted in this book and open up its possibilities in a 21st-century world where globalism and nationalism are intertwined, without falling into nostalgia or restorationism? Drawing on the work of David Graeber, Shunsuke Tsurumi, and John Dewey, editor Kei Wakabayashi and folklorist Akihiro Hatanaka explore new perspectives on the "forgotten Japanese" and "democracy" in this detour-filled dialogue.
" Tsuneichi Miyamoto: History is made by the common people " (Hatanaka Akihiro [author] / Kodansha Gendai Shinsho) and " Experimental Democracy " (by Shigeki Uno) [Author] + Wakabayashi Megumi A must-read supplementary book that connects the two books (Interviewer/Chuokoron Shinsho)!
