• Sommario/riassunto: Embedded Racism untangles Japan's complex narrative on nationality and race and how it threatens its very survival. Incorporating a quarter-century of research by a naturalized Japanese citizen, it argues that Japan's economic and demographic decline is irreversible until it can accept immigrants, regardless of physical appearance, as 'new Japanese.'
