| Annotation | The unique perceptions of ageing of Okinawa war brides - the Japanese wives of US servicemen - are presented through interviews with 15 subjects. They voiced their thoughts about a range of topics, including available support systems, effects of acculturation, and their sense of security as they approach old age. Pride in culture and fears of lost family connections are expressed as these women speculate about the demands of ageing in America. (KJ/RH). |
