Pharr/Losing Face, Status Politics in Japan

Number of Pages 7

A 7 page book review that addresses the text Losing Face: Status Politics in Japan by Susan Pharr. The writer argues that this book not only addresses an issue that is of crucial importance to understanding to democratic governance, i.e., the "problem of equality," but the author also demonstrates how this issue is handled specifically within the context of Japanese culture. In so doing, Pharr offers Western readers valuable insight into Japanese culture; how it has adapted and changed in the post-World War II world, and also how Confucian influences can still be discerned within the workings of the Japanese government. No additional sources cited.
