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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigures \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTables \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword to the English-Language Edition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword to the Original Edition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Toward an ethnography of homeless women \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Who are the homeless women? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Establishing welfare for homeless women \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Gender norms and the use of welfare facilities \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 The world of women who sleep rough \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Continuing and ending rough sleeping \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 The process of change \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Resisting the spell of the autonomous subject \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterword \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName Index \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject Index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kyoto University Press and Trans Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191937884503,"sku":"9781920901745","price":27.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/living-on-the-streets-in-japan-homeless-women-break-their-silence-9781920901745","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
