Belonging in Translation
Bristol University Press (Verlag)
978-1-5292-0187-1 (ISBN)
This is the first book to investigate how migrants and migrant rights activists work together to generate new forms of citizenship identities through the use of language. Shindo's book is an original take on citizenship and community from the perspective of translation, and an alluring amalgamation of theory and detailed empirical analysis based on ethnographic case studies of Japan.
Reiko Shindo is Lecturer in International Relations in the School of Humanities at Coventry University. She is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick. Her research focuses on citizenship and community and cuts across various fields of studies including political geography, migration studies, political theory, and Japanese studies.
