Outside Society

People Without a Country

This book describes Ayuo Takahashi’s growing up during the socially turbulent 1960s in New York City. The book will be most appreciated by individuals who are interested in Asian culture and the problems that Western-educated Asians confront when they return to their ancestral homelands.

A musician who spent his youth in New York City in the hot late 60s, made his debut in Tokyo in the 80s, and since then has been tirelessly active and progressive, and continues to struggle outside the society of Japan. (Outside Society)
