Abstract

"This book traces the origins and transformations of a people: the Zainichi, migrants from the Korean peninsula to Japan and their descendants. Using a wide range of arguments and evidence - historical and comparative, political and social, literary and pop-cultural - John Lie reveals the conditions that gave rise to Zainichi identity, while simultaneously demonstrating its complex, fractured, even ephemeral, nature." "Key to understanding Zainichi ideology are, for Lie, the nationalist yearnings it expressed from a condition of diaspora and discrimination. Lie's nuanced treatment acknowledges both the tragic and the triumphant qualities embedded in this formulation while resisting the essentialism it implies. Rather, he embraces the vicissitudes of the lived experience of Koreans in Japan, shedding light on the vexing topics of diaspora, migration, identity, and group formation."--Jacket.

Abstract

Function-Based Spatiality and the Development of Korean Communities in Japan addresses the impact of urban environments on the development of Korean communities in Japan. It takes into consideration the historically developed functions of the cities in their regional, national, and international spheres and shows the relevance of those functions to the Korean communities of each city. This book will be of interest not only to scholars of the Korean minority of Japan but also to all who study the relationships between spatial functions and immigration.
