In Search of Identity was first published in 1958. Minnesota
Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable
books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions.Educated Japanese
have been faced with a basic ideological problem emerging out of
their country's modernization program. They have had to declare
themselves on the great issues involved in their nation's planning:
West versus Orient, democracy opposed to autocracy, individualism
versus collectivism. To the individual this ideological debate
became a search for identity, and it is this problem, the search
for identity, that forms the background of this book.The authors
report upon a cross-disciplinary study of the Amerikaryugakusei -
"those who study in America" - in the historical context of the
modernization of Japanese society and Japan's cultural relations
with the United States; they describe and portray the experiences
of the individual Japanese student on the American campus and back
in Japan; and they analyze the adjustment of the Japanese student
to different cultural environments.One group studied included
Japanese students who were enrolled at two American universities.
Another group consisted of Japanese who had returned to their
homeland after their American education. The study is concerned,
not with education per se, but with social and psychological
aspects of the educational experiences.This is the fourth in a
series of monographs resulting from a program of research sponsored
by the Committee on Cross-Cultural Education of the Social Science
Research Council.
