Description

Examines both theoretical and everyday issues faced by marginalised groups in contemporary Japan. Focuses on ideologies of homogeneity, assimilation, and resistance in relation to Ainu, Buraku, Koreans, and Okinawans, as well as more recent migrants. These issues are also placed in the wider context of discussions on multiculturalism, pluralism, nationalism, and globalisation.
