Paperback. Condition: Good. Ever been caught in an accident that turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to you. While most people relate accidents with unfortunate outcomes, they do not realise that during those accidents, destiny is at play, and what you might believe to be the worst possible scenario, it could very well be the beginning of the best thing in your life. When you lack the courage of doing things for yourself, an intervention of destiny is your only hope. When you get everything that you ever imagined, what would you do if you are made to believe that you screwed up again, and there is a chance that you lose everything all over again ? Would you realise what is actually going on or would you be solely focused in protecting what you have, however you can ? Would you be able to take everything if you get it accidentally, because love is never accidental, even if it is with the dessert baker.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is written by a sociologist and Japan's most famous feminist, Chizuko Ueno. A discursive battle over how Japan's history should be remembered constitutes the most recent, and perhaps the most explosive, round in a struggle over the legitimacy of different narrator's understandings of the past and its focus on the comfort women issue. Feminist theorist Chizuko Ueno confronts head on, in her usual lucid and hard-hitting style, the various actors in the debate. She skillfully cuts through the argument of the neo-nationalist historical revisionists who have attempted to deny or minimize the reality of the former comfort women. Ueno's equally biting treatment of her natural allies - left-wing historians and feminist supporters of the comfort women - has also made the book highly controversial.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. First English Edition . Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. Published first in Japan in 1994, here for the first time in English in 2009. From the publisher's blurb, "This award-winning book brings together Chizuko Ueno's groundbreaking essays on the rise and fall of the modern family in Japan. Combining historical, sociological, anthropological, and journalistic methodologies, Ueno - who is arguably the foremost feminist theoretician in Japan - delineates in vivid detail how the family has been changing in form and function in the last hundred years. In each chapter, Ueno introduces the reader to a different facet of modern Japanese family life, ranging from children who fantasize about being orphans to the elderly who confront 'pre-senescence.' The central focus is on the housewife - her history, her ever-changing responsibilities, her ways of surviving mid-life crisis. This is an indispensable book for students and scholars seeking to understand modern Japan." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xxiii [1], 3-282 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets. …
