Description

Explore the changing landscape of Japanese society with Social Class in Contemporary Japan: Structures, Sorting and Strategies. This volume provides a deep look into how social structures and class culture have shifted from the post-war era to the current neoliberal period. While post-war Japan was once seen as the primary model for mature industrial societies and a middle-mass culture, the economic changes following the 1990s bubble burst transformed these dynamics. This book traces those transitions, examining the institutional socialization and social sorting that define modern life in Japan. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the text offers a comprehensive study of the period. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the sociological shifts of a major global economy. Whether you are studying anthropology, sociology, or Japanese studies, this book provides the context needed to understand the modern social structure of the nation.
