Challenging the myth of Japan as a single-race society, these girls are seen struggling to positively manoeuvre themselves and negotiate their identities into positions of contestation and control over marginalizing discourses which disempower them as \u2018others\u2019 within Japanese society as they begin to mature. Paradoxically, at other times, within more empowering alternative discourses of ethnicity, they also enjoy and celebrate cultural, symbolic, social and linguistic capital which they discursively create for themselves as they come to terms with their constructed identities of \u201cJapaneseness\u201d, \u201cwhiteness\u201d and \u201chalfness\/doubleness\u201d. This book has a colourful storyline throughout\u2014narrated in the girls\u2019 own voices\u2014that follows them out of childhood and into the rapid physical and emotional growth years of early adolescence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hybrid Identities and Adolescent Girls: Being &#8216;Half&#8217; in Japan Multilingual Matters 2009-12-03 280 pages 210 x 148 (A5) Paperback ISBN: 9781847692320 Hardback ISBN: 9781847692337 Laurel Kamada, Lecturer Professor Tohoku University, Japan This is the first in-depth examination of \u201chalf-Japanese\u201d girls in Japan focusing on ethnic, gendered and embodied \u2018hybrid\u2019 identities.
