5.0 out of 5 stars
good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Off Center: Power and Culture Relations Between Japan and the United States (Convergences: Inventories of the Present) (Paperback)
honestly I have only read parts of the book, but of those that I've read, I think Miyoshi does a great job discussing notions of power withing Japan, and various phases of contact between Japan and the 'west'. There is a great chapter on Junichiro Tanizaki entitled: "the Lure of the West." and another chapter on Japanese women and women writers discusses how women pose a threat to the traditional patriarchy in Japan. Overall a really good book about Japanese contact with 'others'. i plan on reading the entire book after finals.
