"This groundbreaking work on the "unthinkable" phenomenon of maternal violence against children examines the ways postwar Japanese society tried to make sense of the social roles of women in a time of rapid change. Castellini incisively analyzes how the "dark side" of motherhood was represented in the press, in progressive women's fiction, and in the Women's Lib movement, illuminating the discursive struggle over the meaning of "woman" and "mother." Theoretically sophisticated, based on intensive archival research, this study should be read by anyone interested in the history of motherhood in the post-WWII developed world." (Sharalyn Orbaugh,Professor, Asian Studies, University of British Columbia)"Translating Maternal Violence is an examination of maternal filicide in Japan in the 1970s, which opens up fascinating new perspectives on feminism, maternity, mental health, sexual violence."(Imogen Tyler, Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
