The Japanese Overseas: Can They Go Home Again? - Hardcover
Japanese corporate success has transplanted millions of Japanese in foreign lands, but upon return, their children face extreme difficulty in re-entering their peer group. Merry White's study investigates the causes and effects of the trauma and forearms parents to effectively deal with the problem.

From Library Journal:
In Japan the maintenance of ties within one's social group is all important, and foreign postings severely strain these ties. Returning businessmen, academics, and government officials may find themselves branded "internationalists," no longer purely Japanese and off their career track. Youngsters often must attend special transitional schools but remain out of step with the rigid Japanese educational schedule and are not fully accepted by their teachers and peers. Women in these families assume the special burdens of smoothing transitions. A pioneering study which combines serious research with insightful analysis in clear and interesting prose. Highly recommended for Japanese studies and sociology collections. Kenneth W. Berger, Duke Univ. Lib., Durham, N.C.

"An invaluable source of insights into the problems that Japanese overseas face and the strategies they pursue, both in adjusting to life in foreign countries and in preparing for what may or may not be a hospitable welcome when they arrive back home."--The Journal of Asian Studies
