Yoshio Sugimoto

Enhance your purchase
Now in its fourth edition, An Introduction to Japanese Society remains essential reading for students of Japanese society. Internationally renowned scholar Yoshio Sugimoto uses both English and Japanese sources to update and expand upon his original narrative in this sophisticated yet highly readable text. This book explores the breadth and diversity of Japanese society, with chapters covering class, geographical and generational variation, work, education, gender, minorities, popular culture and the establishment. Updates include an exploration of the 'Cool Japan' phenomenon and the explosion of Japanese culture overseas. This edition also features the latest research into Japanese society, updated statistical data and coverage of recent events including the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the change in government. Written in a clear and engaging style, An Introduction to Japanese Society provides an insight into all aspects of a diverse and ever-evolving contemporary Japan.

Product description
レビュー
'Many introductory textbooks on Japan are spinelessly benign with pastiches of essentialist snapshots, but Sugimoto accepts the challenge of representing complexity. This welcome fourth edition, updated from the 1997 original … is evidence of how much his critical perspective has been cherished by generations of instructors and scholars.' L. Miller, Choice

Libro per l'università
Reviewed in Italy on October 18, 2019Verified Purchase
E' il primo libro in formato kindle che acquisto e mi sono trovata bene. Il prezzo è contenuto e si può leggere comodamente grazie all'app di Amazon. L'ho acquistato perchè richiesto da un corso della mia università e sono contenta di aver potuto risparmiare dato il costo generalmente elevato dei testi universitari.

Un ouvrage pour un public avisé
Reviewed in France on June 5, 2018Verified Purchase
L'ouvrage est très bien. Toutefois je le recommande uniquement aux professionnels du Japon ou sociologues. Si vous êtes débutant en matière, l'ouvrage pourrait vous paraître difficile. En effet, le livre parle des phénomènes sociologiques du Japon moderne. C'est un texte scientifique, il n'est pas vulgarisé. Je me suis servie de cet ouvrage pour la rédaction de mon mémoire en japonais. J'ai été particulièrement intéressée par les chapitres analysant l'idéologie de la nation homogène de nos jour au Japon.
