Lessons of Japan: Assayings of Some Intercultural Stances (PostModernPositions series)

This volume captures reflections of twelve years of visiting and thinking about Japan by a scholar from Canada who describes himself as fascinated latecomer and bricoleur. Japan gives the western writer the indispensable distance for see himself. But this is a book about Japan looked at from both the outside and the inside. The experience produces discoveries about both the west and the east. Published in cooperation with the Inter-University Centre for Discourse Analysis and Sociocriticism of Texts, Montreal, Canada.
