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
