This book is a comprehensive account of the nativist movement in
Japan today. Naoto Higuchi uses the life histories of activists to
establish that the basis of their support for the movement is their
conservativism rather than social or economic stress. He reveals
the logic behind the emergence of the nativist movement by
highlighting its links with developments in the existing right wing
and Japan's conservative powers. A common interest in historical
revisionism and conflict with neighbouring countries provides a
further logic that underpins the nativist movement's particular
focus on "special privileges" for permanent Koreans resident in
Japan. The book examines the role of the internet in the
recruitment of nativist activists and in lending a veil of
historical "truth" to the falsehoods concerning these special
privileges. Finally, Higuchi considers the issue of voting rights
for foreign residents in the context of East Asian geopolitics and
increasing securitization, and warns about the dangers of not
resisting securitization.
