Saving Face, Losing Face, in Your Face: A Journey Into the Western Heart, Mind and Soul
Editat de Rob Goodfellow, Dawn O'Neil, Peter Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 1999
People of British and European descent have clearly recognised the value of understanding the various and distinctive societies and cultures that constitute Asia. Saving Face, Losing Face, In your Face turns the coin over, and explains that the richness and complexity of European society is no accident. It is rather the result of nearly 5000 years of constant religious, political, philosophical and scientific development.
Many Asians experience European culture only through the offerings of Hollywood and other popular Western media. Saving Face, Losing Face, In your Face provides a deeper analysis of Western thinking.
An answer to the plethora of books explaining Asian culture to westerners
