Japan's Minorities Summary
|
The Japanese have traditionally projected themselves as a culturally and racially homogenous society. After years of marginalization, many of the 'hidden' minorities in Japan are now beginning to challenge this image by reasserting their cultural identities. Japan's Minorities identifies the six principal minority groups in Japan: * the Ainu * the Burakumin * the Chinese * the Koreans * the Nikkeijin * the Okinawans The contributors to this volume show how the Japanese have incorporated events such as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings into a 'Japaneseness' which excludes these minorities. The chapters provide clear historical introductions to particular groups and put their experiences in the context of contemporary Japanese society. |
