What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? Why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others? In this engaging account of the crucial significance rice has for the Japanese, \u003ci\u003eRice as Self\u003c\/i\u003e examines how people use the metaphor of a principal food in conceptualizing themselves in relation to other peoples. Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney traces the changing contours that the Japanese notion of the self has taken as different historical Others--whether Chinese or Westerner--have emerged, and shows how rice and rice paddies have served as the vehicle for this deliberation. Using Japan as an example, she proposes a new cross-cultural model for the interpretation of the self and other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691021104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691021102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.08w x 0.50d","brand":"Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45477274353919,"sku":"9780691021102","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f8fa7a9-3625-4cb4-b0d4-cf93e1f2ec50.jpg?v=1715919547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rice-as-self-emiko-ohnuki-tierney-9780691021102","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
