Japan exercised colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945 and many Koreans emigrated to Japan during this period. Today, these Korean migrants and their descendants constitute one percent of the total population making them the nation's largest ethnic minority. Culturally different from both Korean nationals and Japanese, the young third-generation Korean migrants have developed a complex ethnic identity through their struggles with Japanese racism. This study seeks to dispel the myth that Japan is a homogenous nation. Part I of this book includes brief accounts of the young Koreans' history and present circumstances. Then, their five broad types of ethnic identity are identified: the pluralist, nationalist, individualist, naturalizing, and ethnic solidarity types. Part II presents case studies of young ethnic Korean women living within Japanese society. Pointing the way towards the eradication of racism, Fukuoka's book will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary Japan or minority studies.

Frantz Fanon is one of the greatest and most influential thinkers about Africa of the twentieth century, and best known for 'The Wretched Of The Earth'. His writings span political philosophy, ideology of history and race; psychology and social psychiatry; and he was an active revolutionary. Born in Martinique, he fought for the French in the European war, but became disaffected by the unrelenting oppression of black and North Africans with whom he grew to identify. He engaged in the liberation war in Algeria, working as a psychiatrist with torture victims and writing about the psychological effects and traumas of racism, whilst expounding his revolutionary ideologies for the Third World. He was a contemporary of Aime Cesaire, and Jean Paul Satre was an important intellectual and personal influence until his death. This is a welcome critical study of Fanon by an African academic, published in Africa. Jinadu introduces Fanon as a political thinker, and sociologist of the common African experience, emphasising the moral context in which Fanon's theories of revolutionary change developed. He draws out Fanon's analyses of relations in the colonial and post-colonial periods to inform an understanding of the continent's political conflicts.

As long as Japan's religious practices remain obscured and misunderstood, it will be impossible to interpret the country's art, history or even industry, argues the author of this work. After all, Milton, Dante and even Shakespeare can only be fully understood by those with a knowledge of Western religion. By analysing Japan's religion in depth, the author seeks to uncover what has long been hidden from Western view and to pave the way to a clearer understanding of Japanese life. The book includes sections on Ancestor-worship, the Communal Cult, the development of Shinto, Buddhism, social organisation, military power, loyalty, the Jesuits and many other topics.
