Terms of relations. 330 $aThis groundbreaking study explores the recent dramatic changes brought about in Japan by the influx of a non-Japanese population, Filipina brides. Lieba Faier investigates how Filipina women who emigrated to rural Japan to work in hostess bars-where initially they were widely disparaged as prostitutes and foreigners-came to be identified by the local residents as "ideal, traditional Japanese brides."Intimate Encounters, an ethnography of cultural encounters, unravels this paradox by examining the everyday relational dynamics that drive these interactions. Faier remaps Japan, the Philippines, and the United States into what she terms a "zone of encounters," showing how the meanings of Filipino and Japanese culture and identity are transformed and how these changes are accomplished through ordinary interpersonal exchanges. Intimate Encounters provides an insightful new perspective from which to reconsider national subjectivities amid the increasing pressures of globalization, thereby broadening and deepening our understanding of the larger issues of migration and disapora. 606 $aWomen$zJapan$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zPhilippines$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aWomen household employees$zJapan 606 $aWomen foreign workers$zJapan 606 $aForeign workers, Philippine$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen household employees 615 0$aWomen foreign workers 615 0$aForeign workers, Philippine 676 $a305.48/89921052163 700 $aFaier$b Lieba$01050794 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456611003321 996 $aIntimate encounters$92480887 997 $aUNINA
