NOTA (★)(Titulo original en japones, 日本社会の構造 [Nihon shakai no koozoo] ´FL-0052´es mismo libro.)(The economic miracles of postwar Japan have been accompanied by equally overwhelming changes in the country´s social structure. Professor Fukutake has written a lucid account of the evolution of Japanese society in the past century. He describes the changes and continuities in a society that has moved from feudalism to modernism in an extremely short time span, and seriously addresses the question of whether premodern people and social relations have evolved into modern people and social relations. The basic foundations of traditional society were firmly based in a patriarchal family system that required individuals to suppress their interests for the harmony of the family, community, or country. The modernization process, which dates to the Meiji Restoration of 1868, was characterized by industrialization and urbanization, but the social structure as a whole continued to be dominated by peasant households and family enterprises, even in manufacturing and commerce. Postwar society was marked by rapid industrial growth, which resulted in transformation of the agricultural sector, urbanization and an increase in the wage-earning population, and the development of mass society. Enormous gains were made in both material and social terms, but at heavy cost : the government´s emphasis on economic growth has caused imbalances, and social development and improvement of the living environment still remain very low priorities. The problem that Japan faces today --inadequate social security, pensions, and welfare facilities in an aging society ; labor force overqualification as more and more people become college-educated-- have brought the country to a major turning point. Answers need to be found to the many questions posed in this book if Japan´s citizens are to lead comfortable lives and grow old without regretting their longevity. ◆Tadashi Fukutake [1917-89] was Professor at the University of Tokyo, an eminent sociologist, and a specialist in rural sociology and social security and welfare. ▼CONTENTS/ ●PART I : THE SOCIETY OF PREWAR JAPAN/1.The Modernization of Japanese Society/2.The Industrial Structure of Prewar Japan/3.The ´Ie´ System : Merits and Demerits/4.Village and Town as Community/5.The Social Character of the Japanese People/6.The Structure of Familistic Society/7.The Stratification System of Prewar Japan/8.Mechanisms of the Total Structure/ ●PART II : CHANGE IN POSTWAR SOCIETY/9.Democratization and Its Limits/10.Industrialization with High Growth Rates/11.Rapid Change in the Agrarian Structure/12.Rapid Urbanization/13.The Changing Structure of Employment/14.The Development of Mass Society/15.The ´Ie´ System : Its Dissolution and Survival/16.The Disintegration of Local Communities/ ●PART III : CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE SOCIETY/17.The Structure of Consciousness/18.TheStratification System of Contemporary Japan/19.The Conservative-Radical Paradox/20.The Basis of Conservative Politics/21.Economic and Social Development/22.The True Face of Japan as an Economic Power/23.Social Security and Social Welfare/24.Future Problems Facing Japanese Society/)
