Japan's Ainu Minority in Tokyo Diasporic Indigeneity and Urban Politics

'This is an important and timely contribution. Only as recently as 2008 the Japanese government for the first time recognized Ainu Indigeneity for those residing outside of Hokkaido. It is a story with much more to follow and this book provides an original perspective from which to understand the shared human and historical experiences that are likely to direct urban Indigenous policy and lives in Japan and beyond.' - Pamela J.
