Review # 1 was written on 2009-03-31 00:00:00 Ibrahim Karahan Interesting ethnography. All too often, when you hear about Filipinas working in Japan, they're mostly seen as prostitutes and/or victims. While that does indeed happen, Faier shows that's not always the case. (She also makes the point that Filipinas who work in bars do not have sex with their patrons as part of their jobs.) These women do try to have agency in improving their lives amidst isolation, restrictions from the Japanese government, and condescending/discriminatory attitudes from their Japanese neighbors and even from fellow Filipinas, among other issues.
