Defeated Nation and Contested Womanhood: The Impact of the U.S. Occupation on the Reconstruction of National Identity in Postwar Japan: Gendering the Trans-Pacific World, cartea 5
Autor Masako Endoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2025
Drawing on insights from studies of gender, sexuality, race, and nation, Masako Endo considers how the occupation overtly sexualized and situationally or essentially racialized certain groups of people. She argues that they, by challenging traditional Japanese gender roles and sexual mores, shaped national discourses of Japanese womanhood and nationhood in occupied and post-occupation Japan.
