| Research Abstract |
This joint study examines how social boundaries for gender, race and class have been established in situations where colonists have produced offspring with people of the native population both in and out of wedlock. Research areas investigated include the Dutch East Indies (researcher : Yoshida), French Indochina (researcher : Matsunuma), Colonial Taiwan (researcher : Miyazaki), and Gurkha regiments (i.e.Nepalese nationals in the regiments of the British Indian Army and the postcolonial British Army) (researcher : Uesugi). The large number of births of children of mixed parentage in the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina became a social problem. On the other hand, in Colonial Taiwan, few marriages between Taiwanese and Japanese were not so many that it did not construct a social issue. Gurkhas traditionally have tried to avoid marrying foreign nationals, and by doing so, retain their elite corps status and their pseudo-ethnic identity.
