Studies on the Social History of Immigration Control
The aim of this research is to reconsider the history of immigration control by examining the diverse practices of individuals, and to depict the history of “boundaries” generated around people's movement, affiliations, and identity in postwar Japan.
This research focuses in particular on the procedural practices of immigration control, and examines how the operation, interpretation, and value judgments of laws that divide others are formed through people's negotiation, agreement, refusal, and resistance.
Furthermore, while tracing the historical development of Japan's modern immigration control system, I aim to examine the meaning of “living” and the reshaping of experience through migration from the perspective of settlement and survival.
