Hardback. Condición: Very Good/Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. Can a nation turn its back on its own myths? Can people bred to conformity change their ways? "Yes" is Clayton Naff's resounding answer in About Face: How I Stumbled onto Japan's Social Revolution. In this strikingly crafted and highly original book he shows how a society traditionally identified with rigid conformism is radically changing itself in the face of a basic human drive: the need for personal fulfillment. No one is better qualified than Clayton Naff to explain to American readers the grassroots social revolution that is sweeping Japan. As a journalist based there for much of the past decade, and as a member of the Japanese family he married into, his view of this revolution is intimate and revealing. Alternating captivating scenes of his cross-cultural courtship with Rumiko Hirata and probing sequences of sociological interpretation, Naff offers us a compelling dispatch from this newly emerging society, a palpable portrait of a nation undergoing a collective ABOUT FACE. As in a satisfying novel, all of Naff's characters come alive for the reader: from Rumiko's father - an aging businessman who enters his golden years not only with a new American son-in-law, but also with a baby granddaughter - to Naff's own co-workers and neighbors. An unprecedented flowering of healthy individualism is replacing the old group mentality in Japan. Women are chucking the "good wife, wise mother" role, seeking personal fulfillment outside the home, and often spurning marriage in the process. Young men are quitting th.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: very good. First Edition. First Printing. 342 pages. Notes, index. Signed by the author. An American journalist who has spent many years in Japan and who married into a Japanese family, Clayton Naff offers an insider's view of the transformation of this island nation. He traces the decline of authoritarian power structures, the increasing opportunities for women, the willingness of "salarymen" to quit lifetime jobs in search of more rewarding (and less exhausting) work, and other trends with far-reaching social, political, and economic implications. Extensively documented and engagingly written, About Face challenges outdated stereotypes with an informed survey of a society undergoing a quiet revolution.
