Diversity in Japan-A Reader

• Japan, often seen as homogeneous, is in fact comprised of people with vastly varying lifestyles and is undergoing rapid globalization in this modern-day society. This book looks at examples of such and compares diversity in Japan with that of the US. The majority of the material was written by the authors themselves, but also includes newspaper articles and book excerpts.
  Generously annotated, each 800-900 word chapter contains a variety of exercises to reinforce important phrases and vocabulary.
