Suicide in Twentieth-Century Japan by Francesca Di Marco
This book explores how the idea of suicide in Japan was shaped, reinterpreted and reinvented from the 1900s to the 1980s. It provides a timely contribution to the underexplored history of suicide and to the current debates on the contemporary way we organize our thoughts on life and death, health and wealth, the value of the individual, and gender.-

'Francesca Di Marco’s study is thus timely and offers a much-needed contribution to an emerging English-language literature on mental health and illness in modern Japan..Di Marco also offers the important observation—which appears to hold cross all four phases of her chronology—that between cultural narratives and the universalizing biological one, the individual meaning of each suicide appears often to have been lost.'
