Foreign Migrants in Contemporary
Japan
by Hiroshi Komai
|
 |
This book overviews the situation of foreign migrants in
Japan based on the latest and most comprehensive data, and presents
necessary policy recommendations. Komai, a foremost scholar on foreign
residents in Japan, demonstrates the progress of settlement and the
formation of ethnic communities. Special attention is given to workers
under economic recession, and the conditions of non-workers such as
pseudo-exiles, self-actualization seekers and marriage/family oriented
migrants. The study presents an analysis of deprivation and
discrimination against migrants and examines human rights violations in
a wide range of areas, including subsistence, residence, liberty, social
life, culture and political participation.
