Unsilent Strangers (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by NUS Press, Singapore, 2023
ISBN 10: 9813252367 ISBN 13: 9789813252363
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This collection of essays on the music of migrant minorities in and from Japan examines the central role music plays in the ongoing adjustment, conciliation and transformation of newcomers and "hosts" alike. It is the first academic text to address music activities across a range of migrant groups in Japan-particularly those of Tokyo and its neighbouring areas. It is also the first to juxtapose such communities with those of Japanese emigrants as ethnic minorities elsewhere. It presents both archival and fieldwork-based case studies that highlight music in the dynamics of encounter and attempted identity making, under a unifying framework of migration.A radical change in policy with the 2019 introduction of a new "Specified Skilled Worker" visa category marked the beginning of Japan's "new immigration era" (imin gannen). The authors in this volume interrogate and shed light on the bureaucratically disseminated slogan of tabunka kyosei, rendered in English as "multicultural coexistence". The concept itself and the many problems of realizing this ideal are examined through ethnography-based accounts of current minorities, including South Indians, Brazilians, Nepalis, Filipinos, Iranians and Ainu domestic migrants, and in light of comparative historical accounts of California and Australia. This volume will be of interest to ethnomusicologists, students of the cultures of migrant communities, and those engaged with cultural change and diversity in Japan and East Asia. A collection of essays on the music of migrant minorities in and from Japan that examines the central role music plays in the ongoing adjustment, conciliation and transformation of newcomers and hosts alike. It is the first academic text to address music activities across a range of migrant groups in Japan. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. This work is an exposition of the traditions of Japanese blind singers who accompanied themselves on the biwa, and of the complex identity of Yamashika Yoshiyuki (1901-1996), a man widely portrayed as the last such "living relic" of the medieval bards called biwa hoshi. The author draws upon approaches from Japanese historical and literature studies, performance studies and ethnomusicology in an examination of history, which yielded on the one hand images of blind singers that still circulate in Japan, and on the other a particular tradition of musical story-telling and rites in regional Kyushu, of representations of Yamashika in diverse media, of his experience training for and making a living as a professional performer and rituals from the 1920s on, and of the oral compositional process in performances made between 1989 and 1992.
