Snapshots: Narratives and Interviews of Young Japanese Women - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The first of the Snapshots series begins with Marina Mia Cunin’s narratives and interviews of young Japanese women. Through their voices, these young women both confirm and challenge common assumptions about their generation while illustrating the social limitations on their lives due to their gender and age. And while some are presented here as fictional characters, their valid reflections shed light on Japanese society and the realities of daily life for young women in Japan.“Dr. Marina Mia Cunin has skillfully woven together the first-hand account of young Japanese women. These concise portraits are at once intensely personal, yet very revealing of the way wider issues of family, gender, sexuality, body image and mental health are played out in the specific context of Japan. A fascinating and truly gripping read.” - Dr. Beverley Bishop, author of Globalisation and Women in the Japanese Workforce (2004).
