{"product_id":"scream-from-the-shadows-setsu-shigematsu-9780816667598","title":"Scream from the Shadows: The Women's Liberation Movement in Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eMore than forty years ago a women's liberation movement called \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e was born in Japan amid conditions of radicalism, violence, and imperialist aggression. Setsu Shigematsu's book is the first to present a sustained history of \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's formation, its political philosophy, and its contributions to feminist politics across and beyond Japan. Through an in-depth analysis of \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e, Shigematsu furthers our understanding of Japan's gender-based modernity and imperialism and expands our perspective on transnational liberation and feminist movements worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eScream from the Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e, Shigematsu engages with political philosophy while also contextualizing the movement in relation to the Japanese left and New Left as well as the anti-Vietnam War and radical student movements. She examines the controversial figure Tanaka Mitsu, \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's most influential activist, and the movement's internal dynamics. Shigematsu highlights \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's distinctive approach to the relationship of women--and women's liberation--to violence: specifically, the movement's embrace of violent women who were often at the margins of society and its recognition of women's complicity in violence against other women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eScream from the Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e provides a powerful case study of a complex and contradictory movement with a radical vision of women's liberation. It offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the blind spots within our contemporary and dominant views of feminism across their liberal, marxist, radical, Euro-American, postcolonial, and racial boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Setsu Shigematsu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816667594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816667598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2012","brand":"Setsu Shigematsu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059859812607,"sku":"9780816667598","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7a88db4-f7ae-44e0-9d7d-c87d33690da1.jpg?v=1685060739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scream-from-the-shadows-setsu-shigematsu-9780816667598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
