The reconstruction of identity in post World War II Japan after the trauma of war, defeat and occupation forms the subject of this latest volume in Brill's monograph series Japanese Studies Library. Closely examining the role of fiction produced during the Allied Occupation, Sharalyn Orbaugh begins with an examination of the rhetoric of wartime propaganda, and explores how elements of that rhetoric were redeployed postwar as authors produced fiction linked to the redefinition of what it means to be Japanese. Drawing on tools and methods from trauma studies, gender and race studies, and film and literary theory, the study traces important nodes in the construction and maintenance of discourses of identity through attention to writers' representations of the gaze, the body, language, and social performance. This book will be of interest to any student of the literary or cultural history of World War II and its aftermath. "Japanese Fiction of the Allied Occupation was awarded Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2007,"

Japan's success in charting a new course in the years following World War II stems from the reforming impetus of GHQ/SCAP, Headquarters of the American-led allied occupation that indirectly governed the nation for nearly seven years. This is the story of the reforms of the Occupation period and of the remarkable men and women, Japanese and American, who implemented them. Professor Takemae introduces material on the wartime origins of Occupation policies, the British Commonwealth Force, the Kurils, Okinawa the Korean minority, A-bomb survivors, war crimes, the Constitution Education, and Health and Welfare.

There is a substantial body of literature dealing with the Occupation of Japan; yet hardly any of it has addressed the significance of the considerable contributions in science and technology to Japan's startling economic progress - contributions made possible in large measure by the Scientific and Technical Division of General MacArthur's Occupation Headquarters. This book chronicles their story and provides a full answer to the Big Question: Did the Japanese have or were near to having an Atomic Bomb? Apart from their immediate task of reviewing the status of Japan's science and technology at the beginning of the Occupation, the Scientific and Technical Division set about encouraging the formation of new national bodies for science and technology and persuaded the Japanese government to create new and more efficient means of dealing with technological matters, including industrial matters, quality control, patents and other intellectual property, and rendered aid in many other ways to Japan's engineers and scientists.
