Art Of The Gut, The: Manhood, Power, And Ethnics In Japanese Politics
by Leblanc, Robin M.
About This Book
This ethnography follows the lives of two very different Japanese men entering political life in two very different communities. One is the rural leader of a citizens' referendum movement, while the other hopes to succeed his father in a Tokyo ward assembly. In her groundbreaking analysis, LeBlanc provides a vibrant and up-to-date picture of politics in Japan today and addresses: masculine gender expectations in a male-dominated political world; the connection between gendered identity and ethical being; and the process by which men who are neither dominated nor marginal to their communities assert themselves both with and against power. With notes and index.
