Japanese Migrations to Australia: Transformation and Heterogeneity ハマダ イオリ、濱野健、塩原良和 編集
‘This book stands as the first comprehensive English-language scholarly book dedicated to the dynamic and multifaceted aspects of Japanese migrations to Australia.
‘By offering an extensive and up-to-date analysis of migration trends, this book addresses a significant void in academic research. Structured into two parts, this book offers an in-depth exploration of various aspects of this migration. Firstly, by examining contemporary migration patterns including working holiday makers (WHMs), partnership-based migrants and Japanese–Australian youths, this book unsettles cultural essentialist and national exceptionalist narratives. Additionally, through investigations of Australian tourism, the role of Japanese restaurants in cultural exchange and the artistic expressions within the Nikkei Australian community, this book reveals the diverse contributions and interactions of Japanese communities in Australia and the bilateral influences of Japan. It also critically engages with the monolithic concept of ‘community’ through specific sectors and previously understudied groups including Japanese-Indigenous Australians and LGBTQ+ migrants, analysing how personal narratives align with or diverge from policy frameworks and offering new perspectives on identity and belonging in transnational contexts.
‘Combining empirical research with theoretical analysis, this book is not only an academic resource but also a useful reference for policymakers. By offering new perspectives and policy recommendations, it is an invaluable tool for understanding and adapting to the evolving patterns of Japanese migrations to Australia, making a substantial contribution to the fields of Japanese, migration and Australian studies.’
１０章: Nikkei Australia: A Creative Cultural Community 金森マユ
Cultural productions with Nikkei Australian themes are on the rise, with more artists and creatives identifying themselves as Nikkei or Japanese Australians. My own artworks and arts practice, along with those of my colleagues, are part of a creative cultural community and a social movement exploring a part of the Australian heritage which has mostly not been brought to light before and are reimagining histories of Japanese experiences and their stories which are specific to Australia. Many of the creatives are members of a community group called Nikkei Australia. Nikkei Australia is formed by a group of individuals who support members by sharing knowledge and resources and facilitate opportunities for creatives to present their creative work to become part of a wider social discourse.
