One of the few books to really tackle normal Japanese teenage lives. White's analysis emphasizes consumption and its socializing role. After thirteen years, the book is now a bit dated, but still provides some excellent basic ideas on Japanese youth.
Great praise of the Japanese educational system right when America was convinced it was losing to the Japanese. Emphasis on primary schooling.
Investigation into recent declines in Japanese childbirth and the meaning of the post-Bubble family.

Quite often anthropology is written in a style beyond horrible, but Ms White writes very restrained English and clearly loves Japan and clearly loves coffee.

So if you are interested in coffee (hand poured) and Japan, this is the book for you.… (meer)
