The reign of the Tokugawa shoguns was a time of statebuilding and cultural transformation, but it was also a period of ikki: peasant rebellion. James W. White reconstructs the pattern of social conflict in early modern Japan, both among common people and between the populace and the government. Ikki is the first book to cover popular protest in all regions of Japan and to encompass nearly three centuries of history, from the beginnings of the Tokugawa shogunate in the 1590s to the Meiji restoration.

White applies contemporary sociological theory to evidence previously unavailable in English. He draws on the long historical record of peasant uprisings, using narrative interpretation and sophisticated quantitative analysis. By linking the texture of conflict to the political and economic regime the shoguns created, he casts doubt on competing interpretations of a contained, orderly society.

Industry Reviews

"White's book shows how quantitative social science methods can be creatively married to in-depth historical knowledge of a particular country." American Political Science Review" "Ikki is ambitious, comprehensive, rigorous, and sophisticated in its conclusions. It is an accessible and wide-ranging book that should be of broad interest to political scientists and other social scientists interested in the comparative study of popular contention." Review of Politics"
