FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A unique study of Japanese American women employed as domestic workers Notes A unique study of Japanese American women employed as domestic workers Review "A richly detailed and sophisticated examination of...how historical and economic forces restricted womens lives and how women devised strategies for dealing with their plight." --Canadian Woman Studies "A beautifully written, well-organized, and sociologically rich study of three generations of Japanese-American women who worked as domestics. Glenns study fits well into a womens studies collection, particularly with those materials focusing on immigrants or the working class." --Choice "... A much welcome contribution to the literature on women and work and on Japanese American women, in particular. Glenn has artfully combined a rich case study approach with detailed sociodemographics in an historical framework... Glenn writes well and skillfully incorporates detailed historical and demographic facts with a descriptive style. The presentation of labor statistics is excellent... This book is an important contribution, not only to Asian American Studies but to womens studies and the literature on labor and immigrant groups." --Amerasia Journal "A revealing view into the role of Japanese women immigrants in the United States not only as domestic workers but also in their family lives. This study is enlivened by the life stories and quotations from the women themselves..." --Edwin O. Reischauer "This work is a valuable contribution to the literature on immigration and an important addition to the literature on occupations. It contains a fascinating and highly readable account of the array of perspectives on work and family that Glenn was uniquely positioned to collect from Japanese women and provides an extremely useful study for those who teach women and work, gender roles, and sociology of occupations courses." --Arlene Kaplan Daniels Promotional A unique study of Japanese American women employed as domestic workers Long Description A unique study of Japanese American women employed as domestic workers Details ISBN0877225648 Language English ISBN-10 0877225648 ISBN-13 9780877225645 Media Book Format Paperback Year 1988 Imprint Temple University Press,U.S. Subtitle Three Generations of Japanese American Women in Domestic Service Place of Publication Philadelphia PA Country of Publication United States Short Title ISSEI NISEI WAR BRIDE Pages 312 DOI 10.1604/9780877225645 UK Release Date 1988-04-13 AU Release Date 1988-04-13 NZ Release Date 1988-04-13 US Release Date 1988-04-13 Author Evelyn Glenn Publisher Temple University Press,U.S. Publication Date 1988-04-13 DEWEY 331.4816 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
