Abstract

One of the features of Japanese labor history research in recent years is that it has largely turned away from its previous emphasis on the history of labor relations. Woo’s work, by contrast, which focuses on Japan National Railways, seeks to analyze the formation of postwar Japanese hiring practices from the vantage point of labor relations. Strongly evidence-based, and introducing a methodology, too, that raises important and stimulating questions, this work may well prove epochal when we look back at the history of this kind of research. I feel considerable awe for the author, who produced such impressive work from his period of study abroad.
