Excellent- More about Indian Migrants in Tokyo: A Study of Socio-Cultural, Religious, and Working Worlds
Wadhwa focuses on the Indian Diaspora in Tokyo, and analyses their lives as Indians there using a combination of interviews and participant observation as well as secondary data. She examines their lifestyles, fears, problems, relations and expectations as foreigners in Tokyo and how living in Tokyo affects their identity as Indians.
How does an extended stay in Japan influence Indian migrants’ sense of their identity as they adapt to a country very different from their own?
The number of Indians in Japan is increasing. The links between Japan and India go back a long way in history, and the intricacy of their cultures is one of the many factors they have in common. Japanese culture and customs are among the most distinctive and complex in the world, and it is often difficult for foreigners to get used to them.
Wadhwa focuses on the Indian Diaspora in Tokyo, analysing their lives there by drawing on a wealth of interviews and extensive participant observation. She examines their lifestyles, fears, problems, relations and expectations as foreigners in Tokyo and their efforts to create a 'home away from home' in Japan.
This book will be of great interest to anthropologists and sociologists concerned with the impact of migration on diaspora communities, especially those focused on Japan, India or both.
