Yet  there are also surprising analogies between these two peoples. It is this extraordinary combination of similarities and differences that are explored.  In The Jews and the Japanese  Professor Shillony describes how these two peoples  both rich in cultural heritage and historical experiences  have interacted with the Christian West  their outstanding achievements and immense tragedies  and their attempts to integrate with the West and its repeated rejection of them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948085768245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0804816352","price":225.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780804816359.jpg?v=1770037265","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jews-the-japanese-the-successful-outsiders","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
