Beyond Economic Aspirations in International Student Mobility to Japan
Student mobility to Japan from highly developed countries has remarkably increased in recent years, though went largely unnoticed by international student mobility researchers. The framework of ISM and on international students in Japan is dominated by utilitarian models, while non-material aspirations have only recently gained more attention. This paper aims to fill these gaps in understanding students’ aspirations to study in Japan by analyzing…
Conclusion
This chapter summarizes key insights from the case studies and tries to translate them to wider debates in migration studies. We also critically reflect on the choice of themes and countries, the methods used in the book, the positionality of the authors. Finally, we discuss some possible new directions in researching migration and the transnational circulation of racial knowledge.
Migration, Transnational Flows, and the Contested Meanings of Race in Asia
This open access edited volume addresses the multi-layered relations between migration, transnational flows, and the contested meanings of race in Asia. It tries to answer the following questions: how do migration and transnational flows from the Western world impact racial knowledge formation in Asian societies? To what extent do they challenge, perpetuate, and reshape unequal power relations based on the intersection of race, gender, class, nat…
White Migration—From the Context of Migration in East Asia
This article discusses recent development in the emerging field of white migration studies and particularly focuses on the studies on Western or white migrants in Japan and China in the past decade. It is outlining the main contribution of these studies to critical whiteness studies and migration studies as well as it identifies some of the lacunas in the research and possible theoretical and conceptual directions in which the research in this fi…
Privileged, Highly Skilled and Unproblematic? White Europeans in Japan as Migrants
The chapter analyses the migration patterns of contemporary white Europeans to Japan and juxtapose them with their assumed categorization or representations as expat-like migrants. The empirical evidence demonstrates how Westerns or Europeans in Japan continue to be represented as high skilled, privileged, and unproblematic expat-like migrants in the media. Such representations are in contrast with the complex patterns of European migration to Ja…
Comparing the racialization of Central-East European migrants in Japan and the UK
The article deploys the lens of the race-migration nexus (Erel et al., Ethnic and Racial Studies 39:1339-1360, 2016) to compare the racialization of migrants in the UK and Japan. It draws on qualitative data on the experiences of Central-East European (CEE) migrants in the two countries to unpack how whiteness is constructed in relation to different histories and patterns of immigration in each national context. While CEE migrants in Japan benefi…
Nihon ni kurasu roshia-jin josei no bunka jinruigaku
This book contributes to our knowledge of the increasingly numerous and diverse migrant population of Japan, their motivations for choosing Japan as their destination, and their lives within Japan. By focusing on the case of Russian women married to Japanese men and the diversity of this group, this research adds an important piece to an increasingly complex mosaic of foreign-born residents of Japan. Whereas certain groups of migrants and particu…
