"A community study that in its own right illuminates various facets of political change and dynamics even in Japanese national life, and points out various fruitful directions for further studies of Japanese town and urban politics.

This study is admirable also because it is concerned with understanding how and why citizens in a local community in a relatively unitary system are, in fact, more concerned with political processes and events at the local than at higher levels of government. Few studies of local political power anywhere have integrated in their frameworks attention to ordinary citizens as well as leaders, as this study of Reed Town has done. In such a search for understanding, the author combines modern, quantitative research methods with imaginative constructs and sensitive interpretation."
