Social Cohesion and Alienation - Minorities in the United States and Japan

This book examines the cohesive features of the Japanese Confucian heritage and explores the alienation and deviancy in Japanese culture, past and present. It focuses on the minority adaptation patterns evident in multiethnic America and describes how Japanese come to actualize their social selves.

Riassunto

An attempt at a final summary of much of my work in anthropology has been divided into two separate volumes, Status Inequality: The Self in Culture, 1990, published by Sage Publications and this present volume, Social Cohesion and Alienation: Minorities in the United States and Japan. Many of the themes touched upon in both volumes have appeared in a series of writings that stretch through a period starting in the early sixties through the late eighties. Some of these efforts resulted in books; others appeared separately as invited contributions to symposia, as special issues of journals, or as parts of edited volumes.
