This paper examines the interrelationships among Japaneseness, the Western and Japanese concepts of race, and the obfuscation of racism in contemporary Japanese society. The concept of race, which was conceived in the West in the modern era, has influenced the Japanese concepts of race, jinshu and minzoku. These two concepts played a key role in constructing modern Japan’s identity by distinguishing it from its significant discursive Others: Asia and the West. Today the Japanese simply call themselves nihonjin, or Japanese people, rarely using the terms jinshu and minzoku, and racism is generally viewed as a ‘foreign issue’ that has little relevance to Japanese society. The purpose of this study is threefold. First, it discusses how the Japanese concepts of race, jinshu and minzoku, were constructed and shaped the dominant meaning of the Japanese in different historical contexts, intertwining with Western notions of race, nation, Volk, and ethnicity. Second, it suggests that obscured racism in contemporary Japan is linked with the conceptual presence and nominal absence of jinshu and minzoku in defining Japaneseness. Third, it explores how the contemporary modality of racism in Japan overlaps with and differs from racisms in the West.

This essay examines Identity Management Theory (IMT) with a critical perspective of multiculturalism. Tabunka kyosei or "multicultural co-living" is a Japanese indigenous notion equivalent to multiculturalism that has been constructed in Japanese social, political, and cultural contexts and used in various senses. A critical approach to multicultural co-living views culture more fluidly and heterogeneously, paying close attention to power relations among cultural groups. IMT explains how cultural identities are negotiated as two individuals from different cultural backgrounds develop their intercultural relationship. Using a critical approach to multicultural co-living, this essay explores IMT, as well as its theoretical implications for building a multicultural society.

In this book, Yuko Kawai departs from the common conception of Japan as an ethnically homogenous nation. A Transnational Critique of Japaneseness: Cultural Nationalism, Racism, and Multiculturalism in Japan investigates the construction of Japaneseness from a transnational perspective, examining ways to make Japanese nationhood more inclusive. Kawai analyzes a variety of communicational practices during the first two decades of the twenty-first century while situating Japaneseness in its longer historical transformation from the late nineteenth century. Kawai focuses on governmental and popular ideas of Japaneseness in light of local, global, historical, and contemporary contexts as well as in relation to a diverse array of Others in both Asia and the West. Introduction: A Transnational Critique for a Multiculturalist Japan Chapter 1: Japaneseness, Western and Japanese Concepts of Race, and Modalities of Racism Chapter 2: Neoliberal Nationalism and Japaneseness Chapter 3: Remembering Japanese Americans and Japanese Brazilians for Japaneseness Chapter 4: Using China and Korea for Japaneseness: “Hate Books,” History, and the Grammar of Japanese Racialized Discourse Chapter 5: Entering the West and Encountering Asia: Trans-East Asian Friendships Made in the West Conclusion
