Inhaltsangabe

A clear, firsthand look at Japanese youth after World War II, and how a new generation views family, politics, and society.
This nonfiction study reports UNESCO’s 1951–52 enquiry into the attitudes of Japanese youth. It examines how a country rebuilt its institutions and what that means for the beliefs, values, and daily lives of young people. Grounded in interviews, questionnaires, and contemporary observations, the work aims to bridge cultural distance and illuminate the hopes and concerns of a generation in transition.

- How youth relate to authority, democracy, and foreign affairs in a changing Japan
- Shifts in family life, gender roles, and personal relationships
- The role of education, work, and economic change in shaping outlooks
- The impact of postwar reforms on youth culture and social life

Ideal for readers of postwar history, sociology, and Japanese studies seeking a grounded, accessible portrait of youth at a turning point.
