{"product_id":"gendering-modern-japanese-history-barbara-molony-9780674017801","title":"Gendering Modern Japanese History","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the past quarter-century, gender has emerged as a lively area of inquiry for historians and other scholars, and gender analysis has suggested important revisions of the \"master narratives\" of national histories--the dominant, often celebratory tales of the successes of a nation and its leaders. Although modern Japanese history has not yet been restructured by a foregrounding of gender, historians of Japan have begun to embrace gender as an analytic category. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe sixteen chapters in this volume treat men as well as women, theories of sexuality as well as gender prescriptions, and same-sex as well as heterosexual relations in the period from 1868 to the present. All of them take the position that history is gendered; that is, historians invariably, perhaps unconsciously, construct a gendered notion of past events, people, and ideas. Together, these essays construct a history informed by the idea that gender matters because it was part of the experience of people and because it often has been a central feature in the construction of modern ideologies, discourses, and institutions. Separately, each chapter examines how Japanese have (en)gendered their ideas, institutions, and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Molony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674017803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674017801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.54w x 1.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 353","brand":"Barbara Molony","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086755115263,"sku":"9780674017801","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c41dc99-bb8d-45e3-b1a7-59d8377bb79b.jpg?v=1769096387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gendering-modern-japanese-history-barbara-molony-9780674017801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
