AB - This paper seeks to elucidate the national identity of Koreans living in Japan with a special permanent resident status through in-depth interviews.
In that not only the first and second generations but also the third and fourth generations have maintained the nationality of their ancestral homeland without being naturalized nearly a century after the initial migration to and settlement in Japan, Koreans in Japan with a special permanent resident status are special in an unprecedented manner worldwide. Although it is clear that this group will decrease in number in the distant future, they nevertheless and undoubtedly will remain a very meaningful social entity for a considerable time. Just as ethnic Koreans' living conditions vary, their identities likewise are diverse indeed. Because the question of “Who am I?” is deeply linked to nationality in the case of Koreans in Japan, national identity occupies the greatest share of these people's identities. Unfortunately, however, that national identity is not simply connected to a single nation-state due to the continuing division of Korea. This paper traces the identities of Koreans living in Japan with questions on the meanings of nationality and nation that they seek to preserve.
