Globalization and Social Change
in Contemporary Japan
edited by J. S. Eades,
Tom Gill & Harumi Befu
|
 |
This is a bold attempt to come to terms with
globalization and social change in contemporary Japan. Topics include
macro phenomena such as patterns of migration, internationalization,
educational reform and trends in values; ground-level change as
experienced by particular social groupings: women in the workplace,
casual labourers, yakuza gangsters and members of the Burakumin
community; and the craft of making Buddhist altars, the practice of
ascetic mountain worship and theoretical models of interpretations of
emotions.
