An introduction to Japanese society

SUGIMOTO Yoshio

An introduction to Japanese society - Cambridge: Cambridge Univ Press, 1997 - 286p.

A comprehensive guide to modern Japanese society which counters the often held view that the Japanese are a very homogenous people with an equally standardised culture. Describes the differences of social class and strata; the social variations arising from location, age, occupation, gender and ethnicity; the effect of collusion and competition in the Establishment; and looks at popular culture and everyday life.
