excerpt,
Featuring in-depth interviews from 1994 to the present, three generations
of Zainichi Korean women-- those who migrated from colonial Korea before or
during WWII and the Asia-Pacific War-- and their Japan-born descendants share
their version of history, revealing their lives as members of an ethnic
minority. Discovering voices within constricting patriarchal traditions,
the women in this book are now able to tell their history. Ethnography,
interviews, and the women's personal and creative writings offer an
in-depth look into their intergenerational dynamics and provide a new way
of exploring the hidden inner world of migrant women and the different ways
displacement affects subsequent generations.
