Visibilities and Invisibilities of Race and Racism
Takezawa, Harrison, Tanabe, and their contributors present a multi-sited, transnational, and intercultural perspective on racism, shifting its emphasis away from the conventional North Atlantic interpretive frameworks to better understand its fundamental nature. Racism is not a uniquely transatlantic phenomenon but, because it is most often understood within Euro-American paradigms, its salience in other contexts is often less visible. The chapte…
Preface to the Special Issue on Genetics, DTC, and Their Social Implications
Comparing direct-to-consumer genetic testing services in English, Japanese, and Chinese websites
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC-GT) has rapidly become available and affordable throughout developed countries. However, comparative research on DTC-GT services beyond Western countries has remained scarce, particularly in East Asian countries such as Japan and China. Hence, this study’s hypothesis is that although DTC-GT services in three languages might utilize the same underlying testing technology, such services are likely to represen…
Theorizing People of Mixed Race in the Pacific and the Atlantic
The most extensive theoretic and empirical studies of people of mixed racial descent extant today have addressed nations across the Atlantic. This article reveals how this literature on people of mixed racial descent is limited in its claims to represent a “global model”. In contrast, we argue that by juxtaposing institutional factors in the Atlantic region and Japan we can expand our understanding of people of mixed racial descent across a far w…
Race and Migration in the Transpacific
Trans-Pacific Minor Visions in Japanese Diasporic Art
asian diasporic visual cultures and the americas 6 (2020) 1-10 in the canon of Western art history. The post-war years brought a new wave of Japanese avant-garde artists circulating in the diaspora (such as Yoko Ono, Yayoi Kusama, and Shigeko Kubota) as well as the international influence of Japanese art movements such as Gutai and Butoh that continue to inform contemporary art practice. This issue, however, intentionally focuses on subjects that…
Major and Minor Transnationalism in Yoko Inoue’s Art
This article elucidates major transnationalism and minor transnationalism through an analysis of works by New York-based Japanese artist Yoko Inoue (b. 1964). Inoue engages in social criticism through varied media such as ceramics, installations, and performance art. Her works demonstrate minor transnationalism observed in the relationships she has built with other transmigrants and minoritized individuals over such issues as xenophobia and racis…
Racialization and discourses of "privileges" in the Middle Ages
The dominant contention in the sociology of racialization asserts race as a modern Western construction. However, we lack studies that juxtapose the experiences in the Trans-Atlantic with the Trans-Pacific. This article, by examining the social conditions experienced by Jews in Spain, the "Gypsies" in Romania, and the Kawaramono in Japan in the Middle Ages, claims that the racialization had already begun before European colonization. It points ou…
Trans-Pacific Japanese Diaspora Art
This short essay introduces an Amerasia Journal Forum to present reflection essays by six participants from our December 8 2018 international symposium “Trans-Pacific Japanese Diaspora Art: Encounters and Envisions of Minor-Transnationalism,” which was held in Tokyo as a Kyoto University Zinbunken Academy
Encounters with Transmigrants and a Navaho Chef
This paper reflects upon the symposium “Trans-Pacific Japanese Diaspora Art: Encounters and Envisions of Minor-Transnationalism” by discussing works by the New York-based multimedia artist Yoko Inoue, Tea Taste Democracy and Upside-Down Objects. It explains how these works were created under the context of post-9/11 New York using the concept of minor transnationalism
Antiracist Knowledge Production
With the current global swing to the right, issues surrounding race and racism are becoming ever more pressing. Japan is no exception to this. While it is true that Japan does not share some of the urgent issues currently facing the United States, including deadly violence at the hands of the police and a discriminatory immigration ban based on religion and nationality, parallel patterns between incidents of racism in Japan and those in many othe…

Translating and Transforming ‘Race’
Although it is an almost established understanding in European and North American literature that race is a social construct, the general academic and social discourses surrounding race in Japan remain outside this model. This can be traced back to school textbooks and geography books in the early Meiji period, after these concepts and words were translated and introduced from Europe and the United States. This article will examine passages relat…
