YellowG’s Reviews > Moderne sans être occidental. Aux origines du Japon aujourd'hui > Status Update

A very informative book. The author is clearly very knowledgeable on the Japanese intellectual history of the Meiji era and after. The main argument is clear: the Japanese modernization is not equal to occidentalisation. As the author said in an interview, during the Meiji period “Japan has never been so Chinese during its modernization”.
