Riassunto

Contesting the view that pre-WWII Japan pushed a conservative statist agenda, Hastings (history, Purdue U.) argues that the state bureaucracy, particularly the Home Ministry, encouraged a more participatory political and cultural environment before 1937 than is generally believed. In her analysis of working class areas of Tokyo, especially its Honjo ward, she shows that bureaucrats were concerned with the needs of their citizens and took significant steps to protect the city's working families and the poor.
