| Opplysninger | "This book is a translation of the paperback edition of Zetsubō no kuni no kōfuku na wakamono-tachi, first published in 2011 and then released in paperback form in 2015, both published by Kodansha Ltd." -- tittelbladet verso.. - The rise and fall of "young people" -- The restless young -- The "collapse" of "Japan"? -- The youths who stand up for Japan -- The great East Japan earthquake and the young people who met expectations -- The happy youth of a desperate country -- Supplementary chapter: a conversation with Takeru Satō.. - "Young people in present-day Japan, a socially-polarized society, have been reportedly "unhappy." According to statistics, however, 80 percent of them are currently "satisfied" with life. By drawing attention to this very fact, The Happy Youth of a Desperate Country, a magnum opus by acclaimed sociologist Noritoshi Furuichi, has revolutionized the discourse on youth theory in Japan. Containing more than six hundred footnotes, this work offers a probing examination of the portrait of "young people" and serves as the definitive edition for anyone seeking to attain a wide-ranging grasp of Japan and its "young people," from a defining voice of their generation"--Omslag.
