"White debunks the idealized image of the Japanese family held by
many Americans as the exemplar of traditional family
values--stable, dutiful, homogeneous, harmonious. This is also the
'official image' promoted by state, the media, and other
institutions. Instead, White shows that families in Japan are as
diverse, complex and contested as ours. She exposes the struggle of
individuals and families as they negotiate the gap between the
ideal and the realities of the post-industrial world of the
twenty-first century."--Arlene Skolnick, author of "Embattled
Paradise: The American Family in an Age of Uncertainty
"Japanese politicians have pronounced the declining birthrate a
national crisis. White gives us an enlightening bolt of reality,
showing how Japanese families are really coping with the enormous
changes surrounding them. Creative new patterns in dealing with the
elderly, shopping, young people living at home, and married couples
who continue to have an average of two or more children, are
explored in depth."--Ezra Vogel, Henry Ford II Research Professor
at Harvard and author of "Is Japan Still Number One?
