The history and experiences of mixed-race Japan<\/a> have long remained almost invisible in a country that believes in its own myths of homogeneity, despite a history that extends backwards to the 8th-century emperor Kammu Tenno<\/a> (who was part Korean) through to Japan\u2019s first female physician (part German) during the 19th century, and forward to the present day, when 1 of every 30 Japanese babies are born to families with one non-Japanese parent. Hapa Japan: History<\/i> (Volume 1) is the first substantial collection of essays to survey the history of global mixed-race identities of persons of Japanese descent. Edited by Duncan Ryuken Williams, the founder of the Hapa Japan Database Project<\/a>, this groundbreaking work unsettles binary and simplistic notions of race by making visible the complex lives of individuals often written out of history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
