Review
The stories that follow are those of two Filipinas who succeeded in staying in Japan and hope to settle down with their families. Have they truly succeeded in overcoming the insecurity generated by surveillance and their being “hidden” from the public eye? Did they overcome their human insecurity by being admitted into Japanese society? Two Filipinas married to Japanese men share many examples of insecurity experienced in marriage in Japan and in settling down.
