Tiger Writing: Art, Culture, and the Interdependent Self by Gish Jen
3.0
I took this book to expand my horizon on West vs East. The Book is dry, with personal anecdotes.
The Core idea of the book:
Independent: “individualistic self – stresses uniqueness, defines itself via inherent attributes such as its traits, abilities, values, and preferences, and tends to see things in isolation."
Interdependent “collectivist self – stresses communality, definites itself via its place, roles, loyalties, and duties, and tends to see things in context.”
Imagine having narratives, communication between these two?
If you are interested in Cross-Cultural context, Immigrants, East-West differences.
