“The Handbook of Global Migration and Japan makes a major contribution by showing that Japan is not a marginal case, but a vital site for rethinking migration in a changing world. Bringing together historical depth, conceptual ambition, and close attention to contemporary realities, this volume challenges persistent myths of homogeneity and opens up new ways of understanding mobility, diversity, and belonging. It will become an indispensable reference for scholars and students of migration and Japan alike.”Professor Alan Gamlen, Director of the Australian National University Migration Hub
