About this book

This is the first book in English to examine, through material in the popular press, the radical changes that took place in Japanese ideas about sex, romance and male-female relations in the wake of Japan's defeat and occupation by Allied forces at the end of the Second World War.

Reviews

'With tenacity, diligence, and care, Mark McLelland has dug deep into a mountain of late 1940s' Japanese popular print sources to create a tantalizing new look into Occupied Japan.His story is grounded in fascinating details about Japan's postwar 'sexual revolution' that he weaves into a broader tale of how democracy developed under foreign occupation.Entertaining but never sensationalistic, Love, Sex, and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation is required reading for those who wish to better understand the time.' - Mark D. West, Nippon Life Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, University of Michigan Law School
