""Intimate Encounters" is the first 'thick description' of the on-going changes wrought by the recent entry of a non-Japanese population, i.e., Filipina women, into rural Japanese life. It broadens and deepens our understanding of what it might mean to write transnational, diasporic histories."--Vicente L. Rafael, author of "The Promise of the Foreign: Nationalism and the Technics of Translation in the Spanish Philippines" ""Intimate Encounters" is fascinating on a topic both timely and important: cultural encounters at the crossroads of global capital, transnational migration, and national meaning-making. Examining the migratory travel routes of women struck by the desire or need to pursue greater prosperity elsewhere, Faier distinguishes her account by beautiful prose, deft ethnography, and a keen attentiveness to the role played by--and complexity of--desire."--Anne Allison, author of "Millennial Monsters" and "Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan"
