Description

Explore the profound impact of media on a changing nation with A Nation of a Hundred Million Idiots?: A Social History of Japanese Television, 1953 - 1973. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the television industry helped reconstruct postwar Japanese popular culture and the broader social and political landscape. During the era of high-speed growth between 1955 and 1973, television became a central force in Japanese life. This work details the public discourse from that period, as people from all walks of life, including politicians and mothers, debated the effects of this new medium on society. It provides a deep look into how television helped form the identity of postwar Japan. This title is an essential resource for those studying East Asian history, politics, sociology, and culture. It offers a clear perspective on how a single medium can influence the identity of an entire nation during a period of rapid economic and social transformation.
