Monkey As Mirror Symbolic Transformations in Japanese History and Ritual

"This gem of anthropological analysis, of elegant dialectic between subtle theory and thoroughly understood experience and records, may be reviewed under five interconnected rubrics: ambiguity, dynamics, micro- and macro-time, reflexive structure, and tropes in social context. Let it be noted that by pervasively interweaving paragraphs about Japanese (pre)history and present life, the author constructs a model introduction to the culture that should be assigned reading in areal courses and introductory anthropology."--Paul Friedrich, University of ChicagoOhnuki-Tierney, Emiko is the author of 'Monkey As Mirror Symbolic Transformations in Japanese History and Ritual' with ISBN 9780691028460 and ISBN 069102846X.
