Descripción

In a captivating exploration of cultural and ethnic identity, Ronald P. Toby delves into the dynamic exchanges between Japan and the outside world from 1550 to 1850. He sheds light on how Japan navigated its perception as the Other within various geopolitical contexts, revealing the complexities of national identity amidst evolving global interactions. By analyzing literary and artistic representations, Toby uncovers the nuanced portrayals of Japan and its alter egos, illustrating how these narratives shaped both internal and external perceptions.

The work invites readers to reconsider the identity of Japan through a lens of intercultural engagement, highlighting the interplay between self and Other in the formation of societal values and norms. By bridging historical documentation with contemporary theoretical frameworks, Toby enriches the discourse surrounding Japan's cultural heritage and the meanings derived from its encounters with diverse cultures, providing a compelling study for those interested in the foundations of identity and cross-cultural dialogue.
