Outline of Final Research Achievements

During the first two years of the four-year research period, I was unable to conduct sufficient research due to the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, I began to produce results in 2022, eventually publishing four articles (all commissioned or special issue articles, two of which were in English) and three book chapters (one of which was in English). In addition to these publications, a new book on the history of immigration policy and a book on biographical research on social movements related to immigration policy are in progress, and although they could not be published during the grant period of this study, they can be counted as important research results.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

上述の研究成果はどれも、研究の中心的なテーマである非正規な移動・移住の管理が、戦後の日本における出入国管理政策の基礎となっていることを示している。他方、「身世打令を聞く: 京都市・東九条オモニ学校における生活史の聞き取り」は、移住者への識字教育と社会運動との関係を論じた方法論的なものであり、「Questioning Xenophobia in Japan: Racism, Decolonization, and Human Rights」は非正規な移住の管理と今日の「日本型排外主義」との関係を論じている。総体として、戦後日本が国民国家を形成する際に、非正規な移住の管理が重要だったことを示せた。
