Japan\u2019s Under-Researched Visible Minorities: Applying Critical Race Theory to Racialization Dynamics in a Non-White Society<\/strong>
\n Dr. Debito Arudou<\/strong>
\n Washington University Global Studies Law Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>
\nCritical Race Theory (CRT), an analytical framework grounded in American legal academia, uncovers power relationships between a racialized enfranchised majority and a disenfranchised minority. Although applied primarily to countries and societies with Caucasian majorities to analyze White Privilege this Article applies CRT to Japan, a non-White majority society. After discussing how scholarship on Japan has hitherto ignored a fundamental factor within racialization studies\u2014the effects of skin color on the concept of \u201cJapaneseness\u201d\u2014this Article examines an example of published research on the Post-WWII \u201ckonketsuji problem.\u201d This research finds blind spots in the analysis, and re-examines it through CRT to uncover more nuanced power dynamics. This exercise attempts to illustrate the universality of nation-state racialization processes, and advocates the expansion of Whiteness Studies beyond Caucasian-majority societies into worldwide Colorism dynamics in general.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
