PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Catherine Burns lectures in the School of Languages and linguistics, Griffith University, Australia. Her research interests include gender studies, law and popular culture in Japan, and feminist jurisprudence.
Sexual Violence and the Law is not the study of misery, but a book of light and shade. True, its main concern is to expose the institutionalized injustice women face as victims of sexual violence. But the book also devotes itself to feminist strategies to subvert the inherent patriarchy of the law...Even when its focus on the dark side of Japanese life, Burn's book sheds important new light on gender and sexuality in Japan...Playfully, Burns makes the most of her narrative method by assuming the role of storyteller herself, hooking the reader into her book...Sexual Violence and the Law is illuminating interdisciplinary scholarship. Burns takes a risk in tackling her subject of Japanese law despite lacking a legal background, but she more than succeeds. Indeed, it is precisely because of her nonlaw background that she infuses the discipline of Japanese law with new and fresh insights. --Journal of Japanese Studies, 32:2 (2006)
