{"product_id":"buraku-capitalism-and-the-state-akira-kobayakawa-9789004744240","title":"Buraku, Capitalism and the State in Japan","description":"Applying universal themes, this book analyses the discrimination faced by and the (re)construction of the Buraku people during Japan's modernization. State and capital have created the ongoing plight of the Buraku. This book demonstrates that Buraku discrimination has been a springboard for domination, both during and after Japan's colonial rule in Asia and has been an important function of governance in Japan. Buraku discrimination is reproduced in both cities and towns, forcing many Buraku people to suffer silently. To combat this situation, there are Buraku resistance movements, studied in depth here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akira Kobayakawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900474424X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004744240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.81d","brand":"Akira Kobayakawa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48175705817343,"sku":"9789004744240","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b738db0f-19c1-425a-86ef-0557473bd8d9.jpg?v=1771335394","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buraku-capitalism-and-the-state-akira-kobayakawa-9789004744240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
