Punishment and Power in the Making of Modern Japan
Daniel V. Botsman
The kinds of punishment used in a society have been considered an important criterion in judging whether a society is civilized or barbaric, advanced or backward, modern or premodern. This title asks how such distinctions have affected our understanding of the past and contributed to the proliferation of kinds of barbarity in the modern world.
