Living on the Streets in Japan: Homeless Women Break Their Silence, Paperback - Stephen Filler

Detalii:

Homelessness has been recognized as a serious problem in Japan since the 1990s, but the dominant model of a homeless person has been that of an unemployed male laborer--a model that has largely excluded women, who experience homelessness in different forms. This study gives the homeless women of Japan a voice at last. Based on extensive fieldwork, the author paints a vivid picture of the unique experiences of homeless women living in a diverse range of environments. By introducing a gender perspective to the analytic framework and challenging the conception of the homeless individual as a rational, autonomous subject, the author invites a critical reconsideration of homeless studies and of public policy.About author(s):Associate Professor of Japanese at Oakland University Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan
