Suicide in Twentieth-Century Japan (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how the idea of suicide in Japan was shaped, reinterpreted and reinvented from the 1900s to the 1980s. It provides a timely contribution to the underexplored history of suicide and to the current debates on the contemporary way we organize our thoughts on life and death, health and wealth, the value of the individual, and gender.
