Koreans in Japan : Critical Voices from the Margin, Paperback / softback Book

Koreans in Japan : Critical Voices from the Margin Paperback / softback

Edited by Sonia (University of Iowa, USA) Ryang

Part of the Routledge Studies in Asia's Transformations series

Paperback / softback

Description

Koreans in Japan are a barely known minority, not only in the West but also within Japan itself.

This pioneering study analyses these relations in the context of the particular conditions and constraints that Koreans face in Japanese society.

The contributors cover a wide range of topics, including: the legal and social status of Koreans in Japan; the history of Korean colonial displacement and postcolonial division during the Cold War; ethnic education; and women's self-expression.

These studies serve to reveal the highly resilient and diverse reality of this minority group, whilst simultaneously highlighting the fact that - despite recent improvement - legal, social and economic constraints continue to exist in their lives.
