{"product_id":"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.","brand":"Trans Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039540887792,"sku":"9781876843564","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781876843564_p0.jpg?v=1763602464","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781876843564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
