内容説明・目次

内容説明

For the authors, the country of Japan conjures up many images. A Canadian with the face and genes of a Japanese, David Suzuki knew that his life had been stamped by his heritage. As a geneticist and environmentalist, he despaired of the destruction the Japanese were wreaking on the land and seas. Keiba Oiwa grew up in Japan, thinking he was Japanese; only as an adult did he learn that his father was Korean - a serious distinction in Japan. As an anthropologist who had spent time in North America studying minorities, he was also fascinated by the intricacies of the country of his birth. Together, these men journeyed through Japan, finding and interviewing men and women who showed them another side of the country. They met artists and farmers, grocers and teachers, TV reporters and scientists, Aboriginal people and "untouchables". They found a concern for peace, a passion for the ancestral ways, a love of community and a determination to fight against environmental destruction.
