Opis

Probes the association of the early modern Japanese intellectual institution called Kokugaku with the phenomenon of nativism. Uncovering differences that cast serious doubt on this association, Mark McNally argues that what Japanologists viewed as nativistic about Kokugaku were actually more typical of what Americanists call exceptionalism.
