Intimate Strangers - Shin Issei Women and Contemporary Japanese American Community, 1980-2020

shin Issei women tell stories of precarity, inequality, and continuing marginality, first in Japan, where they were restricted by gendered social structures, and later in the United States, where their experiences were compounded by issues such as citizenship. Intimate Strangers is a perceptive study of migration and community incorporation enacted around cultural differences and processes.
