Everywhere in the modern world, traditional ideologies are being challenged by a new one, Marxian socialism. This paper seeks to understand the nature and significance of this ideological conflict by examining two opposing Japanese views on a major Japanese social problem, the social discrimination against outcastes (burakumin). The conflicting views of the Japanese government and the Marxist-oriented Outcaste Problem Research Institute (Buraku Mondai Kenkyujo) are presented and related to the class structure of contemporary Japan. The implications of the analysis for contemporary anthropology are discussed
