Hybrid Identities and Adolescent Girls: Being 'Half' in Japan
Laurel D. KamadaThis book examines the ethnic, gendered and embodied ‘hybrid’ identities of ‘half-Japanese’ girls in Japan. The girls struggle to positively construct their identities into positions of control over disempowering discourses of ‘otherness’ as they negotiate their constructed identities of ‘Japaneseness’, ‘whiteness’ and ‘halfness/doubleness’.
