Description

Japan's Minorities explores the formation and contemporary situation of six principal minority groups in Japan: the Ainu, the Burakumin, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Nikkeijin and the Okinawans. This second edition from Routledge provides original research-based analysis of how Japanese historical narratives have shaped perceptions of national identity and exclusion. The book examines the manipulation of significant historical events and reveals the underlying concept of 'Japaneseness' that marginalises these communities. Ideal for students and scholars of Japanese studies, anthropology and sociology, this volume offers critical insights into Japan's social structure and the experiences of those positioned outside the dominant cultural framework.
