A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. This approachable and absorbing book offers a unique window into Japanese c ulture and language. Highlighting the overlooked world of the "silent major ity," the housewives and mothers who are the mainstay of Japanese society, this work tells the stories of ordinary women in their own voices. An annot ated translation of a Japanese bestseller, the volume explores the daily co mmunication of Japanese women and what their words tell us about their rela tionships and lives in a globalized, post- industrial, yet still often male- dominated Japan. Readers will find that many issues explored here are universal to women everywhere, while others are specific to Japan. With added cultural context and commentary, the book offers a fresh understanding of Japanese society, even for those who have had little exposure to Japan. Students in diverse fields, ranging from anthropology to women's studies and from communications to Asian studies, will find this an insightful and provocative work., Very Good Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
