排外主義研究の日本的土壌の変遷—リサーチアワード受賞に寄せて—

抄録

The history of research on Japan’s far right and nativism is relatively recent. As one of the pioneers in this field, I reflect on my engagement with the study of nativism in the twenty-first century, a research trajectory that emerged from my original specialization in migration studies. Although this essay recounts my personal academic journey, it also documents broader changes in the social and political environment surrounding immigration in Japan. In particular, it addresses two issues. First, it traces the development of the question of why Koreans in Japan became targets of hate into the concept of “Japanese-style nativism.” Second, it examines how I have come to understand the emergence of a new form of nativism, distinct from anti-Korean nativism, as part of the transnational diffusion of far-right ideas and movements.
