About this product
Product Information
This is an analysis of the martial arts as socio-cultural and symbolic phenomena. As Americans search for a sense of purpose, belonging, and structure in life, they have chosen an Asian cultural tradition and changed it to suit the needs of contemporary American society. A brief historical summary of the development of martial arts in Japan sets the scene for the reinterpretation of the role of these arts by American mass media. Donohue, an anthropologist with a black belt in karate, explores the important role that the martial arts play in the American psyche. As a means of developing personal power, self-defense systems are aesthetic and spiritual practices as well as statements of urban paranoia reacting against street violence and life-threatening situations. Martial arts organizations are seen as symbolic vehicles for enmeshing participants in constellations of actions and philosophies that create a sense of self and community.

Reviews
"Based on evidence drawn from participatory-observation and secondary readings, Donohue argues that the myths, symbols, and organizations of the martial arts met various psychic needs and addressed basic human issues such as power, control, and identity. The martial arts offer through their symbols, historic traditions, and (inefficient) techniques of self-defense a sense of security and control, community, and a moral guide to action. Chapters include a cross-cultural analysis of martial systems, a brief history of Asian martial arts, an analysis of how the arts were adapted to fit US warrior myths, an anthropological study of the US Dojo, and an examination of US fascination with the mysterious (quasi-religious) masters."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
