Ideology and Libraries: California, Diplomacy, and Occupied Japan, 1945–1952
Michael K. Buckland
This book examines US-influenced initiatives to improve library services during the Allied Occupation of post-surrender Japan and looks at history of funding libraries abroad as a tool of cultural diplomacy, and an explanation of why in Japan library services were relatively backward despite exceptionally high literacy and very well-developed publishing industry and retail book trade.
