America Ascendant --Chapter 7. America in Decline --NotesIn this extraordinary collection of writings, covering the period from 1878 to 1989, a wide range of Japanese visitors to the United States offer their vivid, and sometimes surprising perspectives on Americans and American society. Peter Duus and Kenji Hasegawa have selected essays and articles by Japanese from many walks of life: writers and academics, bureaucrats and priests, politicians and journalists, businessmen, philanthropists, artists. Their views often reflect power relations between America and Japan, particularly during the wartime and postwar periods, but all of them dealt with common themes-America's origins, its ethnic diversity, its social conformity, its peculiar gender relations, its vast wealth, and its cultural arrogance-making clear that while Japanese observers often regarded the U.S. as a mentor, they rarely saw it as a role model.Twentieth Century Japan: The Emergence of a World PowerJapan - Relations - United StatesJapan -- Relations -- United StatesPublic opinion - JapanPublic opinion -- JapanUnited States - Civilization - 20th century - Foreign public opinion, JapaneseUnited States -- Civilization -- 20th century -- Foreign public opinion, JapaneseUnited States - Foreign public opinion, JapaneseUnited States -- Foreign public opinion, JapaneseUnited States - Relations - JapanUnited States -- Relations -- JapanPublic opinionJapanRegions & Countries - AmericasHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCUnited States - GeneralHILCCUnited StatesForeign public opinion, JapaneseUnited StatesCivilization20th centuryForeign public opinion, JapaneseUnited StatesRelationsJapanJapanRelationsUnited States19th century america.20th century america.america and japan.america in war.american culture.american ethnic diversity.american history.american immigration.american society.american values.american wealth.asian politics.asian studies.coming to america.cultural studies.immigration and immigrants.international relations.japanese academics.japanese americans.japanese businessmen.japanese journalists.japanese politicians.melting pot.postwar america.postwar periods.us economy.us history.Japan - Relations - United States.Japan -- Relations -- United States.Public opinion - Japan.Public opinion -- Japan.United States - Civilization - 20th century - Foreign public opinion, Japanese.United States -- Civilization -- 20th century -- Foreign public opinion, Japanese.United States - Foreign public opinion, Japanese.United States -- Foreign public opinion, Japanese.United States - Relations - Japan.United States -- Relations -- Japan.Public opinionRegions & Countries - AmericasHistory & ArchaeologyUnited States - General327.7305209/04Duus Peter1933-2022,edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHasegawa Kenjiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910820261403321Rediscovering America4039082UNINA
