Rezensionen

`Dr Yoshino has made a careful sociological study of the Nihonjinron. This book is a useful complement to Peter Dale's The Myth of Japanese Uniqueness, also available from Routledge.' - Asian Affairs

`Yoshino Kosaku's [book] distinguishes itself as a model of scholarly dispassion... an excellent introduction to the subject, far superior to its predecessors in its objectivity and its theory-orientatedness.' - Monumenta Nipponica
