The book offers a critical examination of post-war anthropology in Japan, highlighting how dominant conceptual and methodological frameworks have shaped and limited the understanding of Japanese culture. Sonia Ryang delves into the biases present in Anglophone anthropological writings, revealing how these perspectives have obscured a more nuanced view of Japan. Through empirical analysis and theoretical insights, the study encourages a reevaluation of existing narratives in Japanese studies.
