About the Author:
A graduate of Melbourne University and London University, Dr Gavan McCormack became Foundation Professor of Asian Studies at University of Adelaide in 1988 and was appointed to his current position as the chair in Japanese History in the Division of Pacific and Asian History of the ANU's Research School of Pacific Studies in 1990. He is fluent in Japanese, and has a good command of Chinese and French. He is also well-known as a media commentator, especially in Australia but also in Japan, on matters to do with Japan and the Australia-Japan relationship.
From Library Journal:
The author or editor of numerous books on Asia (e.g., Democracy in Contemporary Japan, M.E. Sharpe, 1986) and a professor at Australian National University, McCormack here scrutinizes the political economy, national identity, and war remembrances of Japan in an attempt to understand an apparently successful economic model with its own unique problems. The author has spent years studying and working in Japan, and it is evident that he knows the country well. Some of the more intriguing war legacies he relates are the "Shinjuku Bones Affair" (bones of prisoners tortured and killed at a military hospital during World War II are discovered years later) and the "left-behind children" of the Manchukuo area of China. Finally, we are left with a plea for zero population growth and more equitable economic distribution. Not a Japan-bashing book, McCormack's work is well documented, with extensive footnotes. Recommended for economics collections.?Lisa K. Miller Paradise Valley Community Coll. Lib., Phoenix
