Über diesen Titel
Sen Katayama’s The Labor Movement in Japan is a pivotal work analyzing the development of the labor movement in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Katayama examines the rapid industrialization of Japan following the Meiji Restoration and its impact on the working class. He highlights the harsh conditions faced by laborers, including long hours, low wages, and lack of protections, which laid the groundwork for organized resistance.
Katayama traces the emergence of Japan’s trade unions, workers’ strikes, and early socialist movements, emphasizing their struggles against repression by the state and the capitalists. He also discusses the challenges posed by Japan’s militaristic and imperialistic tendencies, which sought to suppress labor movements in favor of nationalist and capitalist goals.
The text advocates for the international solidarity of workers and the adoption of socialist principles to overcome exploitation and build a more equitable society. Katayama’s work is a critical document in understanding the intersection of labor, socialism, and imperialism in Japan’s history.
