Description

Explore the transformative history of Japan's outcaste abolition through this comprehensive scholarly work from Routledge's Asia's Transformations series. This book examines the Tokugawa Shogunate's hierarchical status system (mibun) that governed Japan for two and a half centuries until the mid-1860s, tracing how early Tokugawa rulers legally established status groups by adapting customary divisions between warriors, peasants, artisans, and merchants. Discover how status laws backed by coercive force maintained social boundaries and regulated relations between people of different status during this pivotal era. The narrative follows Japan's journey from rigid feudal stratification towards national inclusion and the formation of the modern state, offering insights into social mobility, legal frameworks, and the cultural transformations that shaped contemporary Japanese society. Essential reading for historians, students of Asian studies, and anyone interested in understanding how societies negotiate historical inequalities and build inclusive national identities.
