Minamata : Pollution and the Struggle for Democracy in Postwar Japan

---

Nearly fifty years after its discovery, 'Minamata disease" remains a horific example of environmental poisoning. Minamata is not just a story of the human and environmental costs of rapid industrialization. It is also a story of a company seeking to hide its guilt, of collusion and confusion at all levels of government and society, including the scientific community and the media, of pressures against speaking out and taking action, of stigmatization and ostracism in as company town, of the persistence and adaptation of 'traditional' uses of language, religion, and concepts of moral economy, Based on primary documents and interviewas, this book describes the reponses to this tragic mercury poisoning, focusing on the efforts of its victims and their supporters to secure redress. George argues that the redress effort illuminates the great changes that have redefined democracy in poswar Japan
