Summary:
"The Kaiju (strange
monster
) film genre has themes that go well beyond the "big monsters stomping on cities" motif. This critical examination of kaiju considers the entirety of the genre, how it has crossed cultures from its original folkloric inspirations in both the U.S. and Japan and how it continues to reflect national values to audiences"--Provided by publisher.
