Details Review ofA Japanese author's impressions of the U.S. will typically be handicapped by his/her limited knowledge and experience of the U.S. However, it will typically show a keen understanding of Japanese culture. In the same way, for the Japanese reader, Benedict often provides a more helpful understanding of American culture than she does of Japan's.
