Description

This qualitative research by Kim examines the profound mental health challenges faced by ethnic Korean minorities living in Japan, known as Zainichi Koreans. Through interview-based investigation, the study reveals how conflicting identities and social marginalization create significant psychological strain for this population. Zainichi Koreans, primarily descendants of immigrants from the colonial period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, experience higher suicide rates than native Japanese and any other ethnic group within Japan - a nation already marked by elevated suicide statistics globally. The book explores the complex lived experiences of individuals caught between two cultures, unable to fully identify as either Korean or Japanese, and addresses the deep social and psychological impacts of this liminal identity. Published by Routledge as part of their Contemporary Japan Series, this work provides essential insights into how systemic marginalization and identity conflict manifest in mental health outcomes within minority communities.
