This innovative volume is a detailed study of the sociology and society of Japan in its own culture-specific, unique terms. Japan is the only major industrial society to emerge outside the West so far, yet Japanese society is very different from Western society, and must be understood in a different way. The sociological framework developed by the author and presented here does not imitate Western sociology, and provides an important new insight into Japan and the Japanese.

"Empecemos por el principio. Si usted, estimado lector adulto, no sabe cómo sobrevivir a las convulsiones diarias que las grandes ciudades nos plantean, ¿cómo espera que lo sepan los adolescentes? No los juzgue mal. Conózcalos. Las subculturas juveniles son parte del paisaje urbano en el que miles y miles de adolescentes buscan un amparo ante los excesos y el ruido informativo que nos aturde cada día. Floggers, emos, punks, cumbieros, rolingas ... Artificialidad e ideología; adaptación y rechazo. Este libro intenta acercarnos a todos ellos. Porque acercarnos a las problemáticas que los atraviesan, es una manera de aceptar nuestra propia confusión frente al mundo que hemos ayudado a crear"--Page 4 of cover.
