• Introduction; 1. Is Japan an outlier? Cross-national patterns of immigrant incorporation and noncitizen political engagement; 2. Constructing citizenship and non-citizenship in postwar Japan; 3. Negotiating Korean identity in Japan; 4. Citizenship as political strategy; 5. Destination Japan: global shifts, local transformations; Conclusion.
