Women on the Verge: Japanese Women, Western Dreams - Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society
Karen Kelsky
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.
