Nighttime and sleep in Asia and the West

exploring the dark side of life

"Night-time and Sleep in Asia and the West traces the many different associations attached to the night as well as highlighting the diverse sleep patterns and attitudes towards sleep between cultures. This book suggests that far from being natural phenomena, sleep and night-time are sites of political struggle between groups as distinct as religious leaders, school boards and political parties.

The essays here provide an important resource for students of Asia and cultural studies and will also appeal to the general reader interested in such a rarely studied everyday event."--Jacket.
