Japan on American TV: Screaming Samurai Form Anime Clubs in the Land of the Lost

(Columbia University Press, 2021, 168 pages). “Japan on American TV explores political, economic, and cultural issues underlying depictions of Japan on U.S. television comedies and the programs they inspired. Since the 1950s, U.S. television programs have taken the role of “curators” of Japan, displaying and explaining selected aspects for viewers. Beliefs in U.S. hegemony over Japan underpin this curation process."
