  • Race, Resistance and the Ainu of Japan

    Richard Siddle, Richard M SiddleBOOKRace, Resistance and the Ainu of…2010

    Once thought of as a 'vanishing people', the Ainu are now reasserting both their culture and their claims to be the 'indigenous' people of Japan. Race, Resistance and the Ainu of Japan is the first major study to trace the outlines of Ainu history. It explores the ways in which competing versions of Ainu identity have been constructed and articulated, shedding light on the way modern relations between the Ainu and the Japanese have been shaped

  • The Ainu Indigenous people of Japan

    Richard SiddleCHAPTERJapan's minorities2008

    The Ainu are the indigenous people of northern Japan. This may appear a straightforward statement of an obvious truth; after all, the subordination and dispossession of the Ainu under a colonial regime in Hokkaido has numerous parallels among other Fourth World populations, such as Native Americans, Australian Aborigines, Inuit, Mäori, Sami and others, estimated to number between 200 and 300 million people. Sparked into political activism by the …

The book draws on a range of disciplines to provide new insights into both the contemporary and historical place of Okinawa and the Oki…

  • The limits to citizenship in Japan: Multiculturalism, indigenous rights and the Ainu

    Richard SiddleARTICLECitizenship Studies2003Cited by: 12

    The struggle of the indigenous Ainu for equal participation in the political, social and economic life of Japan is a direct challenge to widely held notions of Japan as ethnically homogeneous. The conflation of racialized ethnicity with citizenship, and the popular postwar notion of a ‘unique’ Japan with a mono-ethnic citizenry, have served to marginalize and disempower the Ainu. The state has worked to contain the ‘Ainu problem’ by enacting the …

  • An epoch-making event? The 1997 Ainu Cultural Promotion Act and its impact

    Richard SiddleARTICLEJapan Forum2002Cited by: 11

    This article considers the impact of the Ainu Cultural Promotion Act (enacted 1 July 1997) on contemporary Ainu culture, politics and identity. It describes the events leading to this legislation and suggests that, while it represents on the surface a new official approach to multiculturalism, it has not significantly displaced older attitudes towards Japanese homogeneity and the management of minorities. Although it is only five years since the …
