Description

Japan and National Anthropology: A Critique is an empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated examination that challenges conventional assumptions in Japanese studies and Anglophone anthropological scholarship on Japan. Sonia Ryang investigates how postwar anthropology of Japan became dominated by particular conceptual and methodological approaches, revealing how these dominant frameworks have distorted our understanding of Japanese society and culture. This volume, part of the Routledge/Asian Studies Association of Australia ASAA East Asian Series, offers a critical reassessment of anthropological perspectives on Japan and provides valuable insights for scholars and students of anthropology, Japanese studies, and critical theory interested in understanding how academic disciplines shape knowledge production.

Published by Routledge as part of the ASAA East Asian Series, offering scholarly perspectives on Japanese anthropology.

Empirically grounded analysis combined with theoretical sophistication for academic readers in anthropology and Asian studies.
