Japan is often seen through the lens of an unusually resilient stereotype that it is a nation of risk-averse conformists. David McNeill and Stephen McClure deconstruct that stereotype by showing that there have always been Japanese people who have rejected the status quo, challenged injustice and fought for personal freedom.

The book delves into the notion that Japan is a monolithic society in the hope of dispelling it. The authors profile people who have dared to make their voices heard in a society that has traditionally placed a premium on fitting in and not rocking the boat. By sharing their unique stories, it offers readers a more nuanced and deeper understanding of movements for change in historical and contemporary Japan.

This book is a critical read for academics and scholars in the fields of Japanese studies, Asian studies, sociology and anthropology, as well as those with a long-standing interest in Japan and Asia, especially in individual or social movements for reform and freedom of expression.

David McNeill is a former correspondent for The Independent and The Economist newspapers. He is Professor of Communications at the University of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo and co-chairs the Freedom of the Press committee of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan.

Stephen McClure, formerly Billboard magazine's Asia Bureau Chief, is a freelance journalist, editor and narrator. McClure has written on a broad range of topics, including business, media, pop culture, travel and science, including Nippon Pop, the first English-language book on Japanese pop music.
