Publisher's Synopsis

Using the framework of Edward Said's Orientalism, this work examines how Western rock and pop artists-particularly during the age of album rock from the 1970s through the 1990s-perpetuated long-held stereotypes of Japan in their direct encounters with the country and in songs and music videos with Japanese content.
