Like the US and many other countries in the world, when the pandemic struck Japan, its citizens were not all equally equipped to withstand it. Due particularly to lingering systemic injustices, including stigma, ostracism from family and society, as well as lack of legal protection of their basic human rights, the pandemic has disproportionately affected the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in Japan. They face unique challenges within various facets of their lives. Their experiences are an integral part of understanding how this pandemic is affecting a societal response to an already marginalized group of individuals. This important study looks at the issues from a range of perspectives including public health care services, the media and cross-cultural experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for students and scholars of gender studies, LGBTQ studies, sociology, health, and Asian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Masami Tamagawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032268875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032268873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.64d","brand":"Masami Tamagawa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136489500927,"sku":"9781032268873","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_718bfcf8-48cf-4a96-9409-95172770ffef.jpg?v=1770163001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-japanese-lgbtq-community-in-masami-tamagawa-9781032268873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
