Description

Challenge the common perception of Japan as a homogenous nation with this essential study from the Graduate Institute of International Studies. Published by Routledge, this work provides a deep look into the complex reality of Japanese society, moving beyond conventional portrayals to explore the diverse groups that exist within the country. This book presents the largely untold stories of cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity found in Japan today. It focuses on members of societal groups that are often overlooked by the mainstream due to physical, ethnic, religious, or other differences. By examining these lived experiences, the text provides a necessary perspective on the true variety of the Japanese landscape. Readers will gain insight into the lives of the Ainu, Koreans, Buraku, women, returnees, and the deaf. This publication serves as a vital forum that gives an eloquent voice to these groups, offering a fascinating and surprising look at the social fabric of modern Japan. It is an important resource for students and readers interested in anthropology and sociology.
