Let the Good Times Roll

Meer over het boek

In Let the Good Times Roll, the women of the bar areas around the U.S. bases in Okinawa, the Philippines, and the southern part of Korea speak about their lives with remarkable candor. In gripping and poignant narratives they describe their families and childhoods, the poor rural and urban areas they come from, life and work in the bar areas, and their attitudes toward the bar owners, the American customers, and themselves. Two hundred powerful black-and-white photographs make vivid the lives, cultures, and economies that have been hidden from most Americans for so long.
