 | | | | Race and Racism (in Modern Japanese History) This chapter examines the question of race in modern Japan and traces the development of indigenous strains of racism. It argues that race and racism have been powerful factors in the history of modern Japan, even if their impact varied considerably at different times. Although Japan entered the modern era without a well-defined outlook on the question of race, in the late nineteenth century it was forcibly exposed to this question, and soon began to adopt certain aspects of it. As a concept, race held powerful appeal in Japan because it was associated with the West, modernization, and the... |

| A Failure Far from Heroic: Early European Encounters with "Far Eastern" Slavery When Portuguese traders arrived in Japan during the mid sixteenth century, they came across a vibrant local market of slavery and bondage. With no apparent prohibitions, they soon began to export thousands of Japanese to other parts of Asia and even further afield. There was nothing unique about this Lusitanian trade. In many other parts of Asia, such as in the Indian sub-continent, Southeast Asia and even in south China, the Portuguese and subsequently Dutch were involved in precisely the same activity. On the Japanese side, however, certain features of the slaves and the ways in which the... |

The report finds that even when holding constant academic performance, schools were more likely to be closed if they enrolled higher proportions of minority and low-income students. It also finds test score declines, relative to the comparison group, for two groups of students displaced by closures: those who transferred to schools with a prior record of relatively lower... |

This ethnography studies the experience of the displacement of children and their parents, most of whom... |
