Abstract:
"Japanamerica is the first book that directly addresses the American experience with the Japanese pop phenomenon. With insights from artists, critics, readers, and fans from both nations, this book is as literate as it is hip, highlighting the shared conflicts as American and Japanese pop cultures collide in the here and now."--BOOK JACKET.
