Highlighting the connections between these key figures, their historical circumstances and their biographies, this book provides concise, accessible overviews of the theoretical approaches that shaped and were shaped by Japan's 1960s New Left movements, while also evaluating the development and impact of these intellectual contributions. In doing so, it demonstrates the distinctiveness and significance of Japanese left-wing thought, providing an invaluable resource for students of twentieth-century radical politics.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Perkins\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Japanese at the University of Edinburgh.
