Description

In this fresh and original analysis, Brian J. McVeigh argues persuasively that far from being unique, Japanese nationalism becomes demystified once management and mysticism - the same processes and practices that operate in other national states - are taken into account. Stripping away Orientalist-inspired misconceptions, the author stresses the variety and relative intensity of nationalisms, ranging from economic, ethnic, and educational to cultural, gendered, and religious. Highlighting the legacy of renovationism, pluralism, and of identity among Japanese, this book will be an invaluable corrective to recent works that glibly proclaim the emergence of globalization, internationalization, and convergence.
