  • Buraku Mondai in Japan: Historical and Modern Perspectives and Directions for the Future*
    Buraku Mondai in Japan: Historical and Modern Perspectives and Directions for the Future* Emily A. Su-Ian Reber** INTRODUCTION Arguments: An Overview The current state of legal, political, and sociological affairs in Japan con- stitutes an unfit stage for the eradication of discrimination against burakumin and the improvement of socioeconomic conditions among burakumin. First, federal law affords no protection to victims of discrimination1 : no anti- discrimination law exists, and access to certain government documents that can alert prospective employers and marriage partners to one's family lineage is not adequately restricted.2 Second, the limited nature of debate on buraku mondai constrains the possibility of a democratic and resourceful solution to the problem. Two opposing political organizations dominate the discourse regarding buraku mondai. Moreover, many people in Japan believe the best remedy for prejudice and discrimination is to ignore these problems. Third, the form of political redress regarding buraku mondai ironically propogates, while in other ways counters, discrimination against burakumin. Single bu- raku organizations, varying by community, but most often the Buraku Kaihi D6mei, or Buraku Liberation League (BLL), have been delegated almost full control over the administration of government-sponsored programs for bura- kumin. The BLL (nearly exclusively) offers the available relief to victims of * Portions of this Note have appeared in the March 1998 issue of the JoURNAL OF DOwA-MoNDAI [20 DOwA-M ONDAI KENKYO (JouRNAL OF DOwA-MoNDAi) 45 (1998)].
