Language: English Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. The Japanese history textbook debate is one that keeps making the news, particularly with reference to claims that Japan has never apologised properly for its actions between 1931 and 1945, and that it is one of the few liberal, democratic countries in which textbooks are controlled and authorised by the central government. There are frequent protests, both from within Japan and from overseas, that a biased, nationalistic history is taught in Japanese schools. While critics of Japanese history textbooks have picked out certain examples to support specific positions, this is the first time that all the authorised textbooks currently in use have been analysed to produce a comprehensive view of the range of historical debate that actually exists within these textbooks. Previous studies have been conducted from a political, sociological, or educational perspective. This book adopts a critical discourse that is anchored firmly in the theory of language within society , elucidating the meanings and associated ideologies created by the language of the textbooks. The book examines the meaning-making potential of language, questions why certain choices from within the totality of this potential are made, and links these choices to the ideological construction of meaning within Japanese history textbooks. The ideological construction of meaning is then linked to debates within Japanese society regarding war responsibility and the textbook authorisation system. This approach throws new light on issues which are frequently debated, often without reference to the actual language data.

This is the first time that all the authorized textbooks currently in use have been analyzed using a critical discourse that is anchored firmly in the theory of 'language within society', elucidating the meanings and associated ideologies created by the language of textbooks. Barnard examines the meaning-making potential of language, questions why certain choices are made, and links these choices to the ideological construction of meaning within Japanese history textbooks. Perhaps controversially, this ideological construction is then linked to debates within Japanese society regarding war responsibilities and the textbook authorization system. Among the historical incidents dealt with in the book are: the Manchurian Incident, the Rape of Nanking and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the ideological construction of language as well as proving essential to specialists in Japanese Studies, sociology, social and cultural history.
