Opis

This book carries out a comprehensive analysis of the María Luz incident from a legal perspective. While historians have written widely on the subject, the legal importance of this event has been relatively neglected. This book uses the case to explore the technical legal issues Japan was facing in its transition from pre-modernity to modernity.
