215 – The Power of Japanese Propaganda
Manage episode 398600808 series 2488445
This episode will look at Japanese propaganda during the imperial era. With the rise of mass production of newspapers and magazines amidst the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese population became instilled in nationalism and militarism. Despite the era of demilitarisation and democratisation after the First World War, the Japanese Empire, once again, became fixated on expansion. Harnessing film, radio and cultural institutions, the country was galvanised for total war.
Ray Matsumoto, author of Echoes of Empire: The Power of Japanese Propaganda, joined me.
