Originally published in 1918, Sen Katayama's The Labor Movement in Japan endures as a classic and "necessarily brief" first-hand documentation of Japan's dynamic labor struggles and radical political movements in the early 20th century.

This updated edition features two additional writings by Sen Katayama and a new introductory essay exploring the international significance of radical Japanese labor rebellions and social movements, and analyzing the strengths and limitations of Katayama's own political thought and activism during periods of working-class revolt in Japan.
