About Voices from the Shifting Russo-Japanese Border

With a focus on cross-border dialogue, Voices from the Shifting Russo-Japanese Border reveals the lives of the ordinary people in the border regions between Russia and Japan, and how they and their communities have been affected by shifts in the Russo-Japanese border over the past century and a half. Examining the lives and experiences of repatriates from Karafuto/Sakhalin in contemporary Hokkaido and their contribution to the multicultural society of Japan¿s northernmost island, the chapters cover the border shifts in Karafuto/Sakhalin up until 1945; the immediate aftermath of World War II; the commemorative practices and memories of those in both Japan and Eastern Russia; and finally, postwar lives.
