About the Author
Reviews
"Japanese Prostitutes in the North American West, 1887-1920 tells their story in unprecedented detail. . . . A comprehensive study of these forgotten women who crossed the Pacific to live in a foreign country where they did not know the language."—Japan Times (2016 Top 10 Best Books about Japan)
"Japanese Prostitutes in the North American West, 1887–1920 is an informative trans-national study on the evolution of Japanese communities in the Pacific Northwest. Clearly written and well organized, the book will appeal to students and scholars interested in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Japanese American history and Asian American women's history. . . . Oharazeki's dedication and adroitness in the archives will be a hard act to follow."—Bill Mihalopoulos, Monumenta Nipponica
"An impressive volume. . . . Oharazeki has given us a valuable piece of transnational social history."—Jeff Nichols, Pacific Northwest Quarterly
"The arresting opening sentence of this informative monograph . . . grabs the attention of readers familiar with early twentieth-century Japanese history. . . . A thoughtful exploration of how the interaction of gender, race, and power shaped the relationship between those invisible women and men, traffickers and customers, in the North American West."—Joan Ericson, Western Historical Quarterly
Endorsements
"Oharazeki offers innovative and original discussions about Japanese prostitution on global and comparative scales."—Shelley Lee, author of Claiming the Oriental Gateway: Prewar Seattle and Japanese America
