From the rear cover
"Within the lively and often gripping story of Sakaue Toshié and her world, Partner gives us a sweeping and thought-provoking history of social change in rural Japan and sheds new light on key developments such as war mobilization and US occupation reforms. Fresh, personal, and engaging."--Steven Ericson, author of The Sound of the Whistle: Railroads and the State in Meiji Japan
"Partner beautifully tells the story of the life and times of a farm woman from the 1920s to the present. He traverses seamlessly between the often moving details of her life and the large transformations which it exemplifies."--Andrew Gordon, Harvard University
