Recenzii
The chapters in this handbook each provide concise, up-to-date and highly accessible accounts of the state of the academic field - and how it is likely to develop - across an impressively wide range of topics. As a result, it will be a welcome addition to any reading list for those interested in contemporary Japanese society.
This reference book provides cutting-edge studies of contemporary Japan by leading scholars. It covers a wide-range of topics, including such hitherto little explored areas as heritage management, energy supply and medicine in Japan, thus sensitizing the reader to more diverse aspects of the complex society. It is pioneering and nuanced in analysis, yet highly accessible and engaging in style. The Sage Handbook of Modern Japanese Studies presents an authoritative overview of Japan today and will prove to be a great first port of call for students and the general public interested in this intellectually challenging country.
Japan has undergone profound political, economic and social transformations since the 1990s. I know no better book for an accessible and up-to-date introduction to this complex subject than the SAGE Handbook of Modern Japan Studies. With well-informed overviews on a series of topics by experts in the field, the SAGE Handbook of Modern Japan Studies serves as a pertinent reminder of the place and importance of Japan in the world and its study for the social science research
Its contributions will surely be broadly used in higher education in introduction courses on Japan and in introductory sessions of advanced teaching on Japan.
The SAGE Handbook is a brilliant tool, serves as a very good primer and review of the Anglophone study on Japan, and is far from being impenetrable to the general public. Most chapters have a bibliography roughly equal in page length to their essay, and within this cross-disciplinary study of Japan explicitly execute their own sustained interdisciplinary methods too. So overall, this edited collection is a massive contribution towards a tiny need. Japanese studies have been making such headway that academics might even now say 'Japan is BACK!'. The SAGE Handbook exceeds itself by not just capturing a small portion of that success, but presenting a refreshed and comprehensive review of the state of play that itself inspires appreciation of all manner of study on Japan, and could very well motivate the continuation of the Japan interest boom.
