\nHi Blog. \u00a0For a Sunday Tangent, I introduce the book below by Greg Goodmacher. \u00a0I have no financial stake, don’t worry. \u00a0Just wanted to point out that there is a book out there in the education sector which has information on NJ issues.<\/p>\n

I think there should be more like these. \u00a0After all, if MOE isn’t going to help with assimilation by approving books that toe the monocultural “Japan is unique” line (not to mention deny ethnic schools official approval as education entities, so their NJ students can’t get subsidies and student discounts), then we international residents who write and sell books should inject multiculturalism into the private sector textbook market. \u00a0Hey, what’s being taught below is not unkosher, and thinking about the inevitability of Japan immigration (a tenet Debito.org subscribes to wholeheartedly, natch) is actually a very good thing to get young people thinking about.<\/p>\n

NJ textbook writers in Japan, get cracking. \u00a0Educate people. \u00a0Promote Japan’s future as a multicultural multiethnic society! \u00a0Cover front and back, table of contents, and sample below, excerpted with permission.
