An accurate, thought provoking translation of original work from
sociologist pioneer Tongo Takebe Today's sociology education
emphasizes multiculturalism, yet most of the views originate from
Judeo-Christian perspectives that can limit insight and
understanding. Japanese Family and Society: Words from Tongo
Takebe, A Meiji Era Sociologist presents a carefully edited,
accurate translation by Teruhito Sako of original work from the
early Japanese sociologist Tongo Takebe. His unique viewpoint sheds
light on both Eastern and Western perspectives used to describe
societal development and a classification system of knowledge. This
easily understandable source retains the essences of this classical
Japanese social theorist's work while giving an excellent overview
of Eastern and Western social theory and philosophy and discussion
of major scientific advances from the earliest eras until 1900.
Japanese Family and Society is a translation of Takebe's General
Sociology: Introduction (1904, Volume 1) and an excerpt from
General Sociology: Social Statistics (1909, Volume 3). In Volume 1,
Takebe reviews the accomplishments of major Eastern and Western
scholars. Systematically, Takebe discusses the major scientific
advances in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, history,
economics, philosophy, anthropology, political science, and
sociology to develop criteria for a classification system of
knowledge. In the excerpt from Volume 3, Takebe discusses family
relationships. In these translations, Takebe focuses on the
strengths and weaknesses of both Eastern and Western viewpoints of
societal development in which he demonstrates the advantages of
combining these perspectives. Topics in Japanese Family and Society
include: a brief history of Japanese society early Japanese
sociologists a biography of Tongo Takebe theoretical introduction
to sociology, sociology's problems, and methodology historical
introduction to the sociological ideas in Japan, China, Indian
thought, Ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, and the Modern era the
rise of socialism major accomplishments in various disciplines

The marriage license as a hitting license, child abuse, sibling war
is the powerful message of "Behind Closed Doors". The book is
grounded in the unprecedented national survey of the extent,
patterns, and causes of violence in the American family. Based on a
seven-year study of over 2,000 families, the authors provide
landmark insights into this phenomenon of violence and what causes
Americans to inflict it on their family members. The authors
explore the relationship between spousal abuse and child abuse as
well as abuse between siblings, violence by children against their
parents, and the causes and effects of verbal abuse. Taken
together, their analysis provides a vivid picture of how violence
is woven into the fabric of family life and why the hallmark of
family life is both love and violence. This is a comprehensive,
highly readable account of interest to both the professional and
the lay-person on an important topic, which concerns the social
well-being of us all.
Origins We call this book on theoretical orientations and
methodological strategies in family studies a sourcebook because it
details the social and personal roots (i.e., sources) from which
these orientations and strategies flow. Thus, an appropriate way to
preface this book is to talk first of its roots, its beginnings. In
the mid 1980s there emerged in some quarters the sense that it was
time for family studies to take stock of itself. A goal was thus
set to write a book that, like Janus, would face both backward and
forward a book that would give readers both a perspec tive on the
past and a map for the future. There were precedents for such a
project: The Handbook of Marriage and the Family edited by Harold
Christensen and published in 1964; the two Contemporary Theories
about theFamily volumes edited by Wesley Burr, Reuben Hill, F. Ivan
Nye, and Ira Reiss, published in 1979; and the Handbook of Marriage
and the Family edited by Marvin Sussman and Suzanne Steinmetz, then
in production.
The lucid, straightforward Preface of this Handbook by the two
editors and the comprehenSIve perspec tives offered in the
Introduction by one ofthem leave little for a Foreword to add. It
is therefore limIted to two relevant but not intrinsically related
points vis-a-vis research on marriage and the family in the
interval since the fIrst Handbook (Christensen, 1964) appeared,
namely: the impact on this research ofthe politicization of the New
RIght! and of the Feminist Enlightenment beginning in the
mid-sixties, about the time of the fIrst Handbook. In the late
1930s Willard Waller noted: "Fifty years or more ago about 1890,
most people had the greatest respect for the institution called the
family and wished to learn nothing whatever about it. . . .
Everything that concerned the life of men and women and their
children was shrouded from the light. Today much of that has been
changed. Gone is the concealment of the way in which life begins,
gone the irrational sanctity of the home. The aura of sentiment
which once protected the family from discussion clings to it no
more .... We wantto learn as much about it as we can and to
understand it as thoroughly as possible, for there is a rising
recognition in America that vast numbers of its families are
sick-from internal frustrations and from external buffeting. We are
engaged in the process of reconstructing our family institutions
through criticism and discussion" (1938, pp. 3-4).

This book is a pathbreaking longitudinal study that provides
in-depth information about the lives of middle class
second-marriage couples. Focusing on marital happiness,
husband-wife equality, dual career problems, and children, the
author followed 156 couples for three to four years, interviewing
both spouses and analyzing the data according to the joint marital
history of the couple. In addition to examining how children adapt
to remarriage, this provocative study outlines early warning signs
of impending marital trouble, discusses the chances for people over
thirty and of those previously divorced to have happy marriages,
and explores the common problems faced by remarried persons.
