Bringing together studies of the representations of the Hapa Japanese experience in culture, \u003ci\u003eHapa Japan: Identities \u0026amp; Representations\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 2) tackles everything from Japanese and American films like \u003ci\u003eKiku and Isamu\u003c\/i\u003e to hybrid graphic novels featuring mixed-race characters. From Muslim Japanese-Pakistani children in a Tokyo public school to \"Blasian\" youth at the AmerAsian School close to a US military base in Okinawa, the Hapa experience is multiple, and its cultural representations accordingly are equally diverse. This anthology is the first publication to attempt to map this wide range of Hapa representations in film, art and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duncan Ryuken Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885030541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885030542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaya Press\/Ito Center Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018","brand":"Duncan Ryuken Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939065626879,"sku":"9781885030542","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_81190aa8-fd38-4825-acb6-0fbe328bc915.jpg?v=1681439293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hapa-japan-duncan-ryuken-williams-9781885030542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
