Book Synopsis Escaping Japan by : Blai Guarné

Download or read book Escaping Japan written by Blai Guarné and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that Japan is a socially homogenous, uniform society has been increasingly challenged in recent years. This book takes the resulting view further by highlighting how Japan, far from singular or monolithic, is socially and culturally complex. It engages with particular life situations, exploring the extent to which personal experiences and lifestyle choices influence this contemporary multifaceted nation-state. Adopting a theoretically engaged ethnographic approach, and considering a range of "escapes" both physical and metaphorical, this book provides a rich picture of the fusions and fissures that comprise Japan and Japaneseness today.
