The Japanese – Xenophobe Guide
Xenophobe’s Guide to the Japanese is a pocket-size guide that takes a frank and funny look at what makes the Japanese Japanese.’Whatever sport you play, you must look the part. If you go cycling, you must have the full kit, as worn by the winner of the Tour de France.”Xenophobe’s guides attempt to forewarn readers of the main stereotypes and foibles that are associated with individual nationalities. Each guide explores the characteristics of a country’s people in a series of dedicated sections, encompassing nationalism and identity, behaviour, manners, character, obsessions, beliefs and values, leisure and pleasure, culture, custom and tradition, business, systems, health and hygiene, crime and punishment, government and bureaucracy, conversation and gestures and language.
