Key Texts for Japanese Sociology
About this book
Though rich, diverse, unique and engaging, Japan?s sociological outputs have been internationally underrepresented. In its thoughtful translation and curation of key Japanese sociological texts, this book redresses this imbalance and treads exciting new ground. Comprising 17 chapters spanning 7 decades, this text introduces you to fundamental themes, from classical studies in post-war Japan to contemporary sociological issues like migration politics, social mobility and gender-based violence. Key Texts for Japanese Sociology is an original, much-needed resource, empowering a foundational, confident understanding of the national, regional and local traditions of Japanese sociology from the latter half of the last century to today.
