 The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995 By Kenneth J. Ruoff 2003 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 0674010884 | PDF | 105 MB Few institutions are as well suited as the monarchy to provide a window on postwar Japan. The monarchy, which is also a family, has been significant both as a political and as a cultural institution. This comprehensive study analyzes numerous issues, including the role of individual emperors in shaping the institution, the manner in which the emperor's constitutional position as symbol has been interpreted, the emperor's intersection with politics through ministerial briefings, memories of Hirohito's wartime role, nationalistic movements in support of Foundation Day and the reign-name system, and the remaking of the once sacrosanct throne into a monarchy of the masses embedded in the postwar culture of democracy. The author stresses the monarchy's postwarness, rather than its traditionality.

Daniel Goffman, Bruce Masters, "The Ottoman City between East and West: Aleppo, Izmir, and Istanbul" English | 2005 | ISBN: 052164304X, 0521673542 | PDF | pages: 258 | 21.8 mb In a pioneering reinterpretation, the authors challenge the orientalist perception of the Islamic city. By considering the histories of three Ottoman cities in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, they depart from the piecemeal methods of previous studies to emphasize the importance of these cities and to highlight their essentially Ottoman character. While the essays provide an overall view, each can be approached separately. Their exploration of the sources and the agendas of those who have conditioned our understanding of these cities will make them essential reading for students.
