外国人労働者問題研究 : 日系ブラジル人の実態を通して

抄録

This study aims to analyze the mobility of the foreign workers in Japan with the viewpoint of a socio-cultural context, and to have perspectives on the social changing process of a transnational society. For this purpose, in this paper I focus on descriptive analysis of the facts of changing process of Nikkei-Brazilians (Japanese descendants from Brazil) in Japan. Accompanying the increase and growing long-term resident of foreign workers as Nikkei-Brazilians, new social issues have risen in the Japanese communities : the problem of cultural conflicts between foreign workers and Japanese, the social deviation of foreigners from the communities and the increase of crimes because of their uncertain conditions. So, through this case study, considering the factors which condition the life of foreigners, I will discuss the basic problem and have implications for the necessity of realizing the social cohesion between Japanese and foreign workers in our community.
