First, it traces the tangled trail of Koreans brought into farming villages as a result of war mobilization and capitalist development. Second, it discusses the plight of those who evacuated from cities as they attempted to eke out a living on marginal land. Third, it points out that settlers repatriated from the colonies were met with hostility from villagers and indifference from authorities. Finally, it explores how those who were encouraged to emigrate for 'the good of the nation' in post-war Japan, found themselves victims of agrarian reforms, which severed their ties. In sum, despite being lauded as the 'backbone of the nation' Japanese farmers have been repeatedly marginalized and othered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTables \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 The ethnic problem in Japan's farming villages \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Evacuation, return to farming and postwar settlement \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Farmers' lived experience of borders from Manchuria to postwar settlement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 4 Japanese expatriate 'others': Postwar land reform and migration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Putting down roots: Postwar administration of overseas agricultural emigration and farmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName Index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject Index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kyoto University Press and Trans Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49536052887895,"sku":"9781925608168","price":26.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781925608168.jpg?v=1731900690","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/others-in-japanese-agriculture-koreans-evacuees-and-migrants-1920-1950-9781925608168","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
