Description
Hardcover, 271 pages, published 17/11/2000. This book explores the impact of foreign migrant workers on elements of sovereign power in Japan. It examines how the country's immigration control has been reshaped by the existence of these workers and traces their changing situation from the mid-1980s to the present day. A key focus is the transition of these workers from temporary to long-term stayers, or social beings.
