Multi-scalar Identities of foreign immigrants and identity politics in Japan
Abstract
In order to see reconstructing identities of foreign immigrants by type(that is,marriage migrants, returnees from China, Nikkeijin immigrated from Latin America,Zainichi Koreans, and migrants workers from South-East Asia) in Japan, this paper suggests a typology of identity with two axes; one is the blood which regulates nationality, the other is the way of life cultivated on the basis of places of daily life, and then examines interrelational and multiscalar processes of identity reformulation in relations with Japanese civil society and nation as well as Japanese local dwellers. This paper also points out that policies for supporting foreign immigrants have been initiated by innovative local governments, and then recently the so-called ‘multicultural coexistence’ policy is actively pursued by many local governments indifferently with their ideological characters. And hence, characters of local organizations for supporting foreign immigrants in Japan have developed various characters and differentiated themselves in certain relationships with local governments. But multicultural coexistence policies, especially implemented by recent conservative political powers, seem to deepen discrimination with foreign immigrants,which are mainly established on the so-called ‘Nihonjinron’ emphasizing the homogeneity of Japanese race and culture. It is suggested that the contextualism,a version of the Nihonjinron, can be seen as a model with which one can explain why multicultural identity is required, and can be developed, on local lifespaces. Finally it is argued that Japen needs to institutionalize local-global citizenships in order that foreign immigrants reform their real multicultural identity, and that Japan transforming to multicultural society can reconstruct new local, national, and global identity.
