本研究探讨了日本多元文化主义概念受到各种社会和历史轨迹影响的不同方式。自20世纪80年代日本政府开始推动“国际化”以来，“国际交流”、“文化交流”、“了解其他文化”等口号成为政策制定者和教育工作者最流行的说法。本文论证了日本多元文化主义的观念是复杂而深刻地根植于日本的社会、文化和教育体系中的。它还指出，这种特别日本式的多元文化主义排斥了一些世代居住在日本的移民，这种排斥不是意识形态产品的结果，而是多重权力关系的影响。
This study explores the different ways in which the notion of multiculturalism in Japan has been influenced by various social and historical trajectories. Since the Japanese government started to promote “internationalization” in the 1980’s, slogans such as “international exchange,” “cultural exchange,” and “understanding of other cultures” have become the most popular expressions among policy makers and educators. This article demonstrates that the notion of Japanese multiculturalism is intricately and deeply embedded in the society, culture, and education system of Japan. It also points out that this particularly Japanese style of multiculturalism excludes some immigrants who have lived in Japan for generations, and that this exclusion is not the result of ideological products, but rather the effect of multiple power relations.
