Challenging conventional perspectives, this study critiques the dominance of specific concepts and methods in postwar anthropology of Japan, particularly within Anglophone writings. Sonia Ryang examines how these frameworks have shaped and limited understanding of Japanese culture, revealing the biases that have influenced scholarly interpretations. Through an empirical and theoretical lens, the book aims to broaden the discourse surrounding Japan and encourage a more nuanced appreciation of its complexities.
