N1  - Japan within the world system : urbanization, political stasis and Western economic expansion -- The Meiji coup d’etat -- Mass media and the development of civil culture -- "The more thorough fulfillment of the Restoration" -- The imperial household, the popular press and the contestation of public space -- Conclusion : conservatism, traditionalism and restoration
N2  - "The Meiji Restoration of 1868 is one of the most astonishing political events of the modern era, yet it doesn’t fit easily with Western precedents of mass mobilization and social transformation. This book challenges some of the preconceptions that have hindered the Restoration being understood on its own terms"--Provided by publisher
