anti-Japanese rhetoric

[Christian Kjaer Nelson]

(Sorry for cross-postings)

Hi Folks:

Anybody know of research on the rhetoric constructing Japan as our chief
trade rival (particularly, though not exclusively, during the early eighties
when discussion of "trade deficits" hit their peak)?

Thanks for any help,
Christian Nelson
