Gender and the Koseki In Contemporary Japan
Surname, Power, and Privilege
Langbeschreibung
Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Tokyo, this book engages with issues of gender hierarchy and structural inequality in Japanese society. Studying several decades of feminist activism and critique of the koseki system, it analyses the strategies of activists who have creatively circumvented koseki rules to maintain their natal names in marriage.
