Through colorfully narrated and skillfully analyzed case studies of their lawsuits and petitions, Herman Ooms traces the evolution of class and status conflicts in villages during this feudal era. Inspired by the work of Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu, the author links detailed village analysis to a broader discussion of societal power fields and juridical domains. 330 8 $aOpening with an angry woman's lifelong struggle against village authority, Ooms's study examines how obscure historical actors, local elites, commoners, women, and outcastes manipulated the distinctions of class and status to their own advantage. The case studies offer a penetrating view of legal practice, including the position of women, inheritance customs, and particular forms of village justice. In a significant contribution to the legal history of outcaste populations, Ooms also studies the origins of discrimination against the ancestors of the burakumin population, a group that even now is struggling for equality in Japanese society. 517 $aTokugawa village practice 606 $aSocial classes$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aVillages$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aVillages$xLaw and legislation$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aSocial classes$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aVillages$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aVillages$xHistory$xLaw and legislation$zJapan 606 $aSociology & Social History$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Conditions$2HILCC 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y1600-1868 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1600-1868 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xHistory$xLaw and legislation 615 7$aSociology & Social History 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aSocial Conditions 676 $a306/.0952 700 $aOoms$b Herman$0641732 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495955503321 996 $aTokugawa village practice$92864315 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
