Evolution Of The Japanese, Social And Psychic

"Evolution Of The Japanese, Social And Psychic" by Sidney Lewis Gulick is a sociological study that takes a close look at Japan's amazing transformation, figuring out how the country changed so quickly. Ditching old ideas about unchanging racial traits, the author shows how the Japanese developed their own unique identity by mixing their history with Western ideas. The book kicks off by questioning the common views back then and dives into the social changes that led Japan to become modern. Instead of just copying the West, Japan’s progress comes from a deep social evolution and built on a strong internal character. It asks important questions about how Japan changed and offers a deeper understanding of Japanese identity.
