Written by an internationally recognized specialist on Buraku
studies, this book casts new light on majority-minority relations
and the struggle for Buraku liberation. Ian Neary focuses on the
Burakumin activist, left-wing politician, family company manager
and arguably the most important Buraku leader of the twentieth
century: Matsumoto Jiichiro. Based on primary material reflecting
recent research, each chapter locates Matsumoto Jiichiro's
experience within the broader developments in Japan's social,
political and economic history and illuminates dimensions of its
social history during the twentieth century that are frequently
left unconsidered. As an examination of Buraku history this book
will appeal to scholars and students of Japanese political and
economic history, ethnic and racial studies, socialism, social
thought and social movements.
