Synopsis
In Japanese, the word for "foreign country" means literally "outnation". But to many American and Japanese, it is Japan itself that, despite its rising influence in world affairs, is the outsider - "The Outnation". In this rigourous and searching journey through Japan's islands and institutions, Richard Rauch finds that today's Japan is strikingly and often surprisingly familiar. Economically it's similar to America in the days of the great cartels and company towns, with a high-tech update. Politically, it's Mayor Daley's Chicago raised to a national scale and its values, far from being alien to the West are Plato's own.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. In Japanese the word for 'foreign country' means outnation. But to many Americans and Japanese, it is Japan itself, despite its increasing influence in world affairs, that is the outsider--the outnation: a country, as some have said, 'in the world but not of it.' THE OUTNATION takes the reader through Tokyo's nighttime crowds and into quiet country hamlets, to the office of a high-tech industrialist and to a farmer's dinner table. Rauch distills conversations with dozens of Japanese statesmen and professors as well as sushi chefs and innkeepers. He probes the public values of the Japanese and details the workings of their political, economic, and intellectual systems.THE OUTNATION is a perceptive and honest exploration of Japan and its people. New, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NFBS1. Seller Inventory # 3830
