Women on the Verge

Japanese Women, Western Dreams

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Shows how female cosmopolitanism re-contextualises the well-known Western male romance with the Orient: Japanese women are now the agents, narrating their own desires for the "modern" West in ways that seem to defy Japanese nationalism as well as long-standing relations of power not only between men and women but between Japan and the West.
