A high degree of cultural and racial homogeneity has long been
associated with Japan, with its political discourse and with the
lexicon of post-war Japanese scholarship. This book examines
underlying assumptions. The author provides an analysis of racial
discourse in Japan, its articulation and re-articulation over the
past century, against the background of labour migration from the
colonial periphery. He deconstructs the myth of a `Japanese race'.
Michael Weiner pursues a second major theme of colonial migration;
its causes and consequences. Rather than merely identifying the
`push factors', the analysis focuses on the more dynamic `pull
factors' that determined immigrant destinations. Similarly, rather
than focusing upon the immigrant, the author examines the
structural need for low-cost temporary labour that was filled by
Korean immigrants.
