Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The burakumin, Japan's largest minority group, have been the focus of an extensive yet strikingly homogenous body of Japanese language research. The master narrative in much of this work typically links burakumin to premodern occupational groups which engaged in a number of socially polluting tasks like tanning and leatherwork. This master narrative, however, when subjected to close scrutiny, tends to raise more questions than it answers, particularly for the historian. Is there really firm historical continuity between premodern outcaste and modern burakumin communities Is the discrimination experienced by historic and contemporary outcaste communities actually the same Does the way burakumin frame their own experience significantly affect mainstream understandings of their plight This book is the result of a decade-and-a-half-long search for answers to these questions. Based on an extensive array of original archival material, ethnographical research, and critical historiographical work, it argues that there needs to be a fundamental reconceptualisation of the buraku problem for two main reasons. First, the master narrative is built on empirically and conceptually questionable foundations; and second, mainstream accounts tend to overlook the very important role burakumin and other interested parties play in the construction and maintenance of the narrative. By continually drawing a straight line between premodern outcaste groups and today's burakumin, and equating the types of discrimination suffered by members of this community today with that faced by their premodern counterparts, the Japanese government, the general population, scholars, and burakumin activists tend to overlook some of the real changes that have often taken place both in who is identified as members of socially marginalized groups in Japan and how they experience that identification. Clinging to this master narrative, moreover, serves to restrict the ways in which burakumin can productively and more inclusively identify in the present to imagine a liberated future for themselves. Timothy Amos' attempt to rethink the boundaries of buraku history and the category of the outcaste in Japan results in a compelling study of buraku issues for any audience.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This handbook explores the history, culture, and social challenges of Japan's Burakumin through the multifaceted scholarship of current Buraku Studies.The handbook situates Buraku Studies by examining the origins of the Burakumin, from Japan's medieval outcaste groups and their connections and continuities into the early modern social class system of Tokugawa Japan. The chapters also explore the intersectionality of this group's experiences across gender, class, and migration status, revealing how their voices were marginalized and their liberation efforts were entangled with colonial complicity. The post-war era experiences of the Buraku are examined, revealing the impacts of government-commissioned human rights surveys and anti-discrimination initiatives alongside stigmas present in the real estate market in Buraku areas and the impact of gentrification on these communities. Forging connections across scholarly fields and national borders, the contributions create meaningful and current collective research about Buraku Studies.Engaging with ongoing scholarly conversations within the emerging field of Buraku Studies, this will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese society, history, and culture.…
