Overview of Embodying Difference: The Making of Burakumin in Modern Japan Book

The burakumin, Japan's largest minority group, have been the focus of an extensive yet strikingly hornogeneous body of Japanese language research. The master narrative in much of this work typically links burakumin to premodern occupational groups engaged in a number of socially polluting tasks like tanning and leatherwork. This narrative, when subjected to close scrutiny, tends to raise more questions than it answers, particularly for the historian. Is there really firm historical continuity between premodern and modern burakumin communities? Does the discrimination faced by these communities actually remain the same?
