Haru Yamada looks at why and how differences in conversational style create misunderstandings between Americans and Japanese. Focusing on racial stereotypes and cultural misconceptions, she compares the emphasis on independence and individuality in American culture, on the one hand, with the more communal values of interdependency and connectedness in the Japanese ethos, on the other. Different Games, Different Rules addresses the complexities of cross-cultural communication in an approachable and practical way, and should be invaluable in this era of increasing economic and political interdependency between both cultures.
