Japan'S Ainu Minority In Tokyo: Diasporic Indigeneity And Urban Politics (Japan Anthropology Workshop Series)

Japan's Ainu minority live mainly in the northern island of Hokkaido, where their distinctive identity and cultural practices are recognised and protected. A significant proportion of the Ainu, however, live in the greater Tokyo area, where their special status is not recognised in the same way. This book, based on extensive original research, explores the way of life of these urban Ainu.
