Martinez focuses on the Japanese village of Kuzaki during the 1980s, to discuss the impact of modernity and the globalised economy on traditions and ritual. She looks at the construction of identity, both of people and place, and at the importance of ritual in a country that claims to be non-religious.
Brings together new-wave essays written from the 1990s onwards, together with the several articles written in earlier decades in order to build up a nuanced portrait of modern Japanese culture and society. This work looks at the macro level of politics and the economy. It also addresses religion and the diversity of contemporary Japanese society.
