520 1 $a"Linking autobiographic writings by Korean women in Japan and the United States and the author's ethnographic insights, Writing Selves in Diaspora presents an original, profound, and powerful intervention - both literary and anthropological - in out-understanding of life in diaspora, being female, and forming selves." "Each chapter offers unique and original discussion on the intersection between gender and diaspora on the one hand and the process of the self's formation on the other. Chapters are mutually engaging, yet have independent themes to explores language and self, romantic love, exile and totalitarianism, the ethics of care, and critique of medicalization of identity. Through the introduction of women's lives and the introspection and interpretation accorded to them, this book delivers an unprecedented text of candor and courage. Writing Selves in Diaspora will have appeal for both academic and intellectually informed lay readers interested in gender, self, and diaspora."--BOOK JACKET.
