Setsu Shigematsu's book is the first to present a sustained history of \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's formation, its political philosophy, and its contributions to feminist politics across and beyond Japan. Through an in-depth analysis of \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e, Shigematsu furthers our understanding of Japan's gender-based modernity and imperialism and expands our perspective on transnational liberation and feminist movements worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eScream from the Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e, Shigematsu engages with political philosophy while also contextualizing the movement in relation to the Japanese left and New Left as well as the anti-Vietnam War and radical student movements. She examines the controversial figure Tanaka Mitsu, \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's most influential activist, and the movement's internal dynamics. Shigematsu highlights \u003ci\u003eūman ribu\u003c\/i\u003e's distinctive approach to the relationship of women-and women's liberation-to violence: specifically, the movement's embrace of violent women who were often at the margins of society and its recognition of women's complicity in violence against other women.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eScream from the Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e provides a powerful case study of a complex and contradictory movement with a radical vision of women's liberation. It offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the blind spots within our contemporary and dominant views of feminism across their liberal, marxist, radical, Euro-American, postcolonial, and racial boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetsu Shigematsu is assistant professor of media and cultural studies at the University of California, Riverside.
