{"product_id":"the-modern-family-in-japan-chizuko-ueno-9781876843564","title":"The Modern Family in Japan: Its Rise and Fall","description":"This award-winning book brings together Chizuko Ueno's groundbreaking essays on the rise and fall of the modern family in Japan. Combining historical, sociological, anthropological, and journalistic methodologies, Ueno - who is arguably the foremost feminist theoretician in Japan - delineates in vivid detail how the family has been changing in form and function in the last hundred years. In each chapter, Ueno introduces the reader to a different facet of modern Japanese family life, ranging from children who fantasize about being orphans to the elderly who confront 'pre-senescence.' The central focus is on the housewife - her history, her ever-changing responsibilities, her ways of surviving mid-life crisis. This is an indispensable book for students and scholars seeking to understand modern Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chizuko Ueno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 187684356X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781876843564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trans Pacific Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Chizuko Ueno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825816883455,"sku":"9781876843564","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa5d41c7-4740-40fe-b6c9-0396c3415931.jpg?v=1746073711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-modern-family-in-japan-chizuko-ueno-9781876843564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
