Book Synopsis Immigrant Japan by : Gracia Liu-Farrer

Download or read book Immigrant Japan written by Gracia Liu-Farrer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant Japan? Sounds like a contradiction, but as Gracia Liu-Farrer shows, millions of immigrants make their lives in Japan, dealing with the tensions between belonging and not belonging in this ethno-nationalist country. Why do people want to come to Japan? Where do immigrants with various resources and demographic profiles fit in the economic landscape? How do immigrants narrate belonging in an environment where they are "other" at a time when mobility is increasingly easy and belonging increasingly complex? Gracia Liu-Farrer illuminates the lives of these immigrants by bringing in sociological, geographical, and psychological theories—guiding the reader through life trajectories of migrants of diverse backgrounds while also going so far as to suggest that Japan is already an immigrant country.
