Against the Storm
Japan's ruling class's wartime project of militarisation and imperialist domination is well-documented in the English language but the active resistance of the working class and general population is less well-known. Sugiura Masao's Against the Storm covers the activities of printworkers in the period of Japan's increasing militarisation, particularly from the Marco Polo Bridge incident of 7 July 1937 to the surrender in 1945. Further context is …

While professional staff showed no difference in harassment rates between regional and metropolitan and Go8 universities, academic staff at regional universities reported significantly higher…
I'd rather work in a supermarket
The rise in nuclear family households and more married women engaging in paid work have forced governments to address the issue of aged care for the elderly to a greater degree. A good illustration is home care in Japan where the government introduced a Long Term Care Insurance scheme (LTCI) (2000) focused on offering affordable almost universal care by extending existing home care services. Japan's home care services were privatized in 2006 and,…
Who Cares about Care Work in Japan
The context behind the books under review is the rapidly ageing population, declining birth rate, greater numbers of women seeking paid work, the fact that women are predominantly the main caregivers of children and the aged, and public spending on social welfare not keeping pace with the increase in the portion of the population who are elderly or infirm. Nishikawa's book examines care work both as it is configured privately within the family, i…
‘For women, by women’
Low rates of union membership and lack of representation on union committees for women in contemporary union structures in Japan disguise the contributions women have made to the union movement. In exploring the development of women-only unions in Japan and the role they fulfil as women-only organizations, I argue that enterprise unions are exclusive and their weakened position vis-à-vis employers and the state combined with the androcentrism of …
