二战结束以来，美日关系发生了很多变化。也许最戏剧性和最不被理解的转变是观念和价值观的变化，这使得这两个昔日的敌人——与美国和欧洲相比，亲属关系和文化联系要少得多的国家——在极短的时间内成为最亲密的盟友。 《慈善与和解》探讨了民间社会，特别是美国和日本慈善事业在战后重建美日关系中的关键作用。基金会和个人慈善家着手促进日本的民主，重建日美之间相互理解的基础，并鼓励就两国关系的未来进行持续对话。为此，他们为战略机构建设、通过支持个人学习和培训来开发人力资源、在日本推广美国研究和在美国推广日本研究以及广泛的国际交流和对话提供了慷慨的支持。这项开创性的研究分析了这种支持的背景和影响，既有助于了解过去，也有助于改进我们未来处理冲突后重建与和解的方式。贡献者包括 Kimberly Gould Ashizawa、James Gannon、Katsumata Hideko、Menju Toshihiro 和 Wada Jun（日本国际交流中心）以及 Kimura Masato（日本涩泽荣一纪念基金会）。
The U.S.-Japan relationship has undergone many changes since the end of World War II. Perhaps the most dramatic and least understood transition was the change in perceptions and values that allowed these two former enemies --countries which shared substantially fewer ties of kinship and culture than did the United States and Europe - to become the closest of allies in a remarkably short period of time. Philanthropy and Reconciliation examines the critical role of civil society, and particularly of American and Japanese philanthropy, in rebuilding the U.S.-Japan relationship in the postwar period. Foundations and individual philanthropists set out to promote democracy in Japan, reconstruct the foundations of mutual understanding between Japan and the United States, and encourage a continuing dialogue on the future of the relationship. To do this, they provided generous support for strategic institution building, the development of human resources through support for individual study and training, the promotion of American studies in Japan and Japanese studies in the United States, and a broad range of international exchanges and dialogues. This groundbreaking study analyzes the context and implications of this support, both for understanding the past and for improving the way in which we address post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation in the future.
