Book Synopsis Performing the Buraku by : Flavia Cangià
Book excerpt: People labelled as 'Buraku-min' in Japan are usually described as the descendants of pre-modern occupational groups who were engaged in socially polluting tasks like leather work, meat-packing, street entertainment, and drum-making. 'Performing the Buraku' explores representations of the 'buraku' issue by community and local activism in contemporary Japan, with a special focus on performances and museum exhibitions.
