Books by Laurel D. Kamada

This book examines the ethnic, gendered and embodied 'hybrid' identities of 'half-Japanese' girls in Japan. The girls struggle to positively construct their identities into positions of control over disempowering discourses of 'otherness' as they negotiate their constructed identities of 'Japaneseness', 'whiteness' and 'halfness/doubleness'.
