Title: In the shadows
First published: 2007
Description: "In the Shadows is a study of masculinity, contraception, and sex education in Japanese youth culture. Genaro Castro-Vazquez presents a study based on research surrounding sex education. The study begins with a history of sex education courses and an analysis of the ways schools influence the sexual identities of students. Further research is presented regarding the curricular development of an actual sex education course. This research contains qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing the quality of sex education for Japanese high school students, the application of a semantic differential, and an attitude scale. Genaro Castro-Vazquez applies this research directly to develop a practical theory regarding Japanese youth sexuality. In the Shadows is of interest to advanced students and researchers of Japanese studies, gender studies, and sociology."--Jacket.
