About this product
Product Information
From sushi and karaoke to martial arts and technoware, the currency of made-in-Japan cultural goods has skyrocketed in the global marketplace during the past decade. The globalization of Japanese "cool" is led by youth products: video games, manga (comic books), anime (animation), and cute characters that have fostered kid crazes from Hong Kong to Canada. Examining the crossover traffic between Japan and the United States, Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieu from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States.

[[BOOK WAS THOUGHTFULLY PACKAGED - a definite plus for book lovers and collectors]] . Was delighted to see my book wedged between 2 stiff card-boards and shrink wrapped! This protected my book from rough handling during shipping that can create unsightly dents at the spine and the edges. Clearly, the seller took thoughtful and diligent steps to ensure that the parcel can withstand the ravages of shipping and can keep the book in pristine condition! i am grateful to the person who packed my order
