Scholarship on racial politics in Japan has tended to take a dichotomous view of Japan as either a culturally homogenous, racially exceptional society where racism does not exist or a perniciously racist one. This talk examines how racism and antiracism have interactively shaped modern Japan\u2019s political development, focusing on national and international coalitions, social movements, empire, and postwar liberal democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Sharpe <\/strong>is Professor of Political Science at York College and The Graduate Center of CUNY, and Adjunct Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asia Institute, Columbia University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science, the Program in International Studies, the Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship, and the Critical Responses to Anti-Asian Violence (CRAAV) Initiative..<\/p>\n\n\n
