Reviews
'Maruyama pioneers the scientific discussion of homelessness not only through the choice of topic, that is, women who represent officially only 3% of the homeless population of Japan, but also through her method: she conducted participant observation framed by critical gender studies. Powerful quotes of respondents serve giving a voice to homeless women, and give a tangible grasp of the agonies of the women interviewed. This analysis is a worthwhile ethnographic research read.' --- Nora Teller, Sociologist, Metropolitan Research Institute, Hungary, 'This book provides deep insights into the lives of female rough sleepers in Japan and a critical assessment of the academic discourse that has developed around this phenomenon. As such, I recommend this book not only to those who seek information about female rough sleepers, but also to those who are interested in homelessness and homeless support in general, feminism, and subjectivity.' --- Johannes KIENER, Associate Professor, Saitama University, Japan

Synopsis
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.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
