Japan's Hidden Apartheid. Korean Minority and the Japanese.

Aldershot. Ashgate. 1997. Stock ID #179942

viii + 171pp, bibliography, glossary, covers little shelf worn, a very good paperback copy.

"The impression of Japan as a successfully homogeneous society conceals some profound tensions, and one such case is presented by the ethnic Korean community. Despite many shared cultural features, there are marked contrasts between Japanese and Korean value systems and interaction is embittered by Japan's colonial record in Korea up to 1945.

This work examines major aspects of the Korean experience in Japan including their evolving legal status, political divisions and cultural life as well as the effects of Japan's relations with Korean regimes." (Publisher's description).
