Religion and Social Crisis in Japan: Understanding Japanese Society Through the Aum Affair

Editorial Reviews
Eileen Barker, London School of Economics and Political Science
This is an important book that tells us a great deal about Japanese society through its varied responses to Aum.

Book Description
At the time Aum Shinrikyõ emerged, most Japanese assumed that they lived in one of the most well-ordered of societies, a model that had much to offer the chaotic Western world. This assumption was shaken on March 20, 1995 when the deadly nerve gas sarin was released on the Tokyo subway system. Since that incident, the "Aum Affai" has had widespread repercussions and shaken the Japanese psyche in a serious way. This volume provides a window onto contemporary Japanese society by considering the various reactions and responses to this crisis precipitated by this deviant religious movement.
