The Material Child.Coming of Age in Japan and America.
Berkeley. University of California Press. (circa 1993). Stock ID #155353 "White explores the world of the teenager in two significantly different modern societies, Japan and America. Drawing on the voices of adolescents themselves, she offers an in-depth look at the sexuality, school work, family relationships, leisure activities, friendships, and buying behavior of the young in both worlds. Through her analysis, White shows that although adolescents in the United States and Japan may share the same taste in pizza, pop music, and leather jackets they remain very different from each other."
