Description

Explore the complex social landscape of Japan through the lens of the Burakumin, an outcaste group of indigenous citizens. This book examines how the nation's attempt to project a solid middle-class identity is challenged by centuries of political, economic, and religious discrimination faced by this group. Learn about the historical efforts of the 1960s, when the Burakumin and their supporters initiated a 40-year national program. This initiative focused on economic aid and educational programs intended to reduce poverty and expand life options for marginalized communities. As these long-standing programs have recently been terminated, the book addresses the resulting uncertainty facing the Burakumin and other marginalized groups. It provides a deep look into the struggle for social equity and the impact of systemic discrimination on indigenous Japanese populations.
