Multiculturalism in the New Japan: Asian Anthropologies, cartea 6

Editat de John Ertl, Nelson Graburn, Kenji R. Tierney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2010
Like other industrial nations, Japan is experiencing its own forms of, and problems with, internationalization and multiculturalism. This volume focuses on several aspects of this process and examines the immigrant minorities as well as their Japanese recipient communities. Multiculturalism is considered broadly, and includes topics often neglected in other works, such as: religious pluralism, domestic and international tourism, political regionalism and decentralization, sports, business styles in the post-Bubble era, and the education of immigrant minorities.
