520 "This book situates the 2020 Tokyo Olympics within the
social, economic and political challenges facing
contemporary Japan. Using the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a
lens into the city and the country as a whole, the stellar
line up of contributors offer hidden insights and new
perspectives on the Games. These include city planning,
cultural politics, financial issues, language use,
security, education, volunteerism and construction work.
The chapters then go on to explore the many stakeholders,
institutions, citizens, interest groups, and protest
groups involved, and feature the struggle over Tokyo's
extreme summer heat, food standards, the implementation of
diversity around disabilities, sexual minorities and
technological innovations. Giving short glimpses into the
new Olympic sports, this book also analyses the role of
these sports in Japanese society. Japan Through the Lens
of the Tokyo Olympics will be of huge interest to anyone
attending the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020. It will also be
useful to students and scholars of the Olympics and the
sociology of sport, as well as Japanese culture and
society"--|cProvided by publisher.
