Oguma demonstrates that the myth of ethnic homogeneity was not established during the Meiji period, nor during the Pacific War, but only after the end of World War II. It also examines how the peoples of the Japanese colonies, Korea and Taiwan, were viewed in the prewar literature on ethnic identity.

Although the program is still in its early stages, after five years of trial and error investigations involving hundreds of scholars from around the world, this collection of papers provides a progress report to the academic community. At this intermediate stage of research, these authors have achieved some notable research results. The aim of this work is to explicate the conditions essential to alternative sociology by reflecting upon the program to date. Specifically, the authors aim to define an intersected domain through the examination of three sub-domains: alternative social research, alternative society, and alternative sociology.

Big White Lie shifts our understanding of the White Australia Policy and indeed White Australia by exploring what Chinese Australians were saying and doing at a time when they were officially excluded. Big White Lie pays close attention to Chinese migration patterns, debates, social organisations, and their business and religious lives and shows that they had every right to be counted as Australians, even in White Australia. The books focus on Chinese Australians provides a refreshing new perspective on the important role the Chinese have played in Australias past at a time when Chinas likely role in Australias future is more compelling than ever.

With its presence established, Japan kept playing a leading role in formulating the Chiang Mai Initiative which facilitated bilateral and regional economic cooperation in the area. Based on the analysis of this process, the book examines the ways in which East Asia has grappled with the regional integration of the economies of the area. The study focuses upon competing developmental models, the effects of FTA and EPA, the initiatives of ASEAN, investments and trades in the region. The contributors to the book then inquire what can be done in financial and monetary domains with a special attention paid to the effects of the depreciation of currencies and the consequences of the IMF emergency policies.

The first of its three parts focuses upon status concepts among the Japanese, providing case studies that examine the special professional status of doctors in feudal Japan, the offspring of fugitive warrior clans in agrarian communities today, ten centuries later, and personal accounts of celebrity sports figures reflecting upon how they are regarded by their fans. The second part shifts the focus to East Asia, presenting cases of late imperial China, contemporary Taiwan and Korea to investigate how different kinship groups define status and stratification. The third part then turns to Southeast Asia, including Jakarta, Bali and Hanoi, examining the cultural forms of status in local health care services, public security activities, and the interactions between laborers and their employers. All of these studies are based upon culturally sensitive qualitative fieldwork and thus offer a much deeper understanding of these phenomena than conventional quantitative stratification studies.

Japan's universities are now facing an increasing demographic crisis, as they compete for a declining number of potential students, because of the falling Japanese birthrate.

The book discusses the East Asian regional context of Japanese civilization, deals with the dynamics of state formation and the attendant cultural transformations in premodern Japan, and suggests ways of comparing the Japanese experience to the West. Presenting Japan as a test case for relating the emerging problematic of multiple modernities to civilizational perspectives, Arnason examines the economic foundations as well as philosophical self-interpretations of Japanese modernity.

Based on the framework of comparative politics, this study first examines the regional significance of the growth of the middle classes after the economic crisis in 1997-1998 and pays special attention to the conditions which led to the fall of the Thaksin government as a consequence of a military coup. From the international relations point of view, this collective work by Southeast Asian specialists also uses abundant data to unravel the regionalization of the cultural industry across East Asia.

U.S. policymakers blame artificially low Asian currency values for global imbalances, including Americas ballooning current account deficit. The solution, they argue, lies in some combination of greater exchange rate flexibility and the appreciation of Asian currencies against the dollar. Asian officials recognize the need to let their exchange rates rise, but they fear that would hamper growth and cut sharply into the value of their dollar reserves. Toward an East Asian Exchange Rate Regime offers a timely and comprehensive analysis of the resulting debates, drawing on expertise from China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

As the Toyota Motor Company continues on its inexorable march to become the worlds biggest and most profitable carmaker, workers on the factory floor are still making sacrifices under the appalling conditions so graphically described here. Iharas book is both a fearless expos and a meticulous academic study firmly situated within the context of the sociology of labor.

This life world centers on their wisdom in daily life; with a focus on their religious life, preparation for natural disasters, irrigation systems, maintenance methods of forests and changing village structures. With extensive ethnographic illustrations, the author explores the potential of indigenous philosophy rooted in rural life and a new form of communalism in Japan.

Huangshan in China. Like other macaques, they live in multiple female and male groups with female philopatry and male dispersal. Unlike most of other macaques, however, male Tibetan monkeys carry an infant to another male, hold up the infant, and suck the infant's penis together. In agonistic interactions, females form a coalition with unrelated females as well as with their mother and daughters. The author shows what kind of intelligence these monkeys have.
