'This is an excellent volume. David Chapman has given us new ways of understanding issues of identity and ethnicity that can inform not only students of Japanese Society but scholars of other diasporic populations in our world today...Do not be deceived by the length of this book. There is much to ponder here.' - David Blake Willis, Japanese Studies 'This volume should be taken seriously as an example of the potential and limits of discourse analysis. It Illustrates much of the complex nature or Zainichi identity and the ways in which it reflects underlying issues of power and control within the Zainichi Community' - Yougmi LIM/ City University of New York, Social Science Japan Journal, October 2008 "I recommend this book to those who are interested in studies of Korea, Japan, diaspora, or postcolonialism as the book provides critical readings of nationalism and multiculturalism. Chapman also provides insights for those who are interested in teasing out the intertwined relationship of citizenship, nationality, and ethnicity." - Haeng-ja Chung, Hamilton College, Korean Studies v32 2008 'David Chapman's Zainichi Korean Identity and Ethnicity offers a valuable in-depth look at the diverse articulations of zainichi Korean identities that appeared between the 1970s and the present' - Rumi Sakamoto, University of Auckland, New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies, December 2008
