内容紹介
The River with No Bridge (Hashi no nai kawa) explores with outspoken frankness a subject still taboo in Japan: the intolerance and bigotry faced daily by Japan’s largest minority group, the burakumin. Racially no different from other Japanese, over the centuries the burakumin have been cruelly ostracized for their association with occupations considered defiling. Spanning the years 1908 to 1924, the original six volumes of this novel trace the developing awareness of brakumin of their rights and dignity as human beings. Volume 1, translated into English for the first time in 1990, is a story about childhood in a burakumion village. It tells of young Koji Hatanaka’s questioning of the rigid social order and his growing sense of injustice as he meets prejudice from other children at school and from his teachers who try to instill in him their belief that since he was born defiled he should resign himself to his fate. Told against the backdrop of Japan’s struggle to shed its feudalistic past and enter the modern age, the novel is a courageous work and a compelling read.
著者について
Sue Sumii (1902-97), social reformer and writer, was born in Nara prefecture. An outspoken advocate for victimes of discrimination, notably the burakumin, Japan’s former so-called “untouchable” class who are in Buddhist eyes unclean, she devoted her entire life to breaking down barriers of inequality among people. She came to challenge the widely accepted belief that those who are disadvantaged are destined to remain so. Her most prominent protest against burakumin lies in her seven-volume The River with No Bridge (1964-62). Her other works include novels, essays, short stories, stories for children, and a personal narrative consisting of a series of transcribed dialogs with various people, including her daughter, Reiko Masuda.
