Description

Japan's Outcaste Youth examines the Burakumin, an indigenous Japanese group facing centuries of political, economic, and religious discrimination that challenges Japan's middle-class national identity. This Routledge book explores the landmark 1960s national program of economic aid and educational initiatives that emerged to lift the Burakumin out of poverty and expand life opportunities. As these support programmes were recently terminated, the work provides critical insight into the ongoing uncertainties facing the Burakumin and other marginalised communities in contemporary Japan. Based on extensive research, the book offers essential reading for understanding social inequality, educational reform, and the lived experiences of Japan's outcaste population.

Key Features

This Routledge publication investigates the Burakumin, an outcaste group subjected to centuries of systematic discrimination in Japanese society.

The book examines the 1960s national programme that provided economic aid and educational support designed to reduce poverty among marginalised groups.

Japan's Outcaste Youth analyses the impact of programme termination on the Burakumin and other marginalised communities facing uncertain futures.

The study combines historical context with contemporary social analysis relevant to sociology, anthropology, and educational policy research.
