The New Japan: Debunking Seven Cultural Stereotypes

The New Japan: Debunking Seven Cultural Stereotypes Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Using Japanese and Western sources, Matsumoto describes the anxiety and unrest that plague Japanese society, and the rift between older and more traditional generations and the younger, more cosmopolitan and Westernized generations.

Book News Annotation:

Drawing on comparative studies of contemporary Japanese and other cultures, Matsumoto (Culture and Emotion Research Laboratory, San Francisco State U.) explains how the values of the younger generation challenge generalizations regarding the Japanese (e.g., as valuing collectivism over individualism). He concludes by discussing the implications of these cultural shifts.
