title = {Embracing Differences: Transnational Cultural Flows between Japan and the United States},
year = {2014},
note = {The omnipresence and popularity of American consumer products in Japan
have triggered an avalanche of writing shedding light on different
aspects of this cross-cultural relationship. Cultural interactions are
often accompanied by the term cultural imperialism, a concept that on
close scrutiny turns out to be a hasty oversimplification given the
contemporary cultural interaction between the U.S. and Japan.
»Embracing Differences« shows that this assumption of a one-sided
transfer is no longer valid. Closely investigating Disney theme parks,
sushi, as well as movies, Iris-Aya Laemmerhirt reveals a dialogical
exchange between these two nations that has changed the image of Japan
in the United States.},
