Description

This Routledge scholarly work challenges prevailing misconceptions about Japan's suicide phenomenon by tracing how the concept was shaped, reinterpreted and reinvented from the 1900s to the 1980s. Rather than accepting the "Suicide Nation" narrative, the book addresses critical gaps in existing literature and explores the paradoxes embedded within suicide debates. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, this academic text provides rigorous historical analysis of a complex social issue, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how cultural attitudes, social factors and historical circumstances influenced perceptions of suicide in Japan throughout the twentieth century.

Key Features

Examines Japan's suicide phenomenon across eight decades, from 1900 to 1980, with detailed historical context and analysis.

Part of Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, ensuring scholarly credibility and academic rigour.

Challenges the "Suicide Nation" assumption by questioning common misconceptions rooted in existing debate.

Addresses previously unexplored paradoxes in suicide studies through a dedicated historical lens.

Explores how ideas about suicide were reinterpreted and reinvented across different periods of modern Japanese society.
