Transforming Japan. How Feminism and Diversity are Making a Difference

More about the book

Japanese society has lately been undergoing some profound changes: LGBT groups are demanding civil rights; growing minority communities are intermarrying at a high rate and struggling for civil rights for themselves and their children; single mothers - also a growing population - are fighting for the rights to support themselves and their families. Written largely by Japanese scholars, this contemporary collection of essays charts the increasing visibility of these previously marginalised groups and how they affect Japanese society as a whole.
