Greetings!
"Murder the Koreans!" "Smash the Korean cockroaches!" Matthew Penney chronicles the extremist Zaitokukai's poisonous demonstrations against Koreans in Japan. More important, perhaps, is the beginning of efforts to challenge their views by citizens appalled by the racist campaign. See his "Racists Go Home!", "Go Crawl Back to the Net!" - Anti-Racism Protestors Confront the Zaitokukai. Paul Jobin and Sumi Hasegawa discuss An appeal for improving labour conditions of Fukushima Daiichi workers. All new articles are now available on Kindle, as are several recent articles. If you experience any difficulty in accessing them, please let us know at info.japanfocus@gmail.com. Our home page has a category Featured Articles. This will take you to the most widely read articles of recent times and over our decade of publication. Check it out to discover some of the most important work that has appeared in the journal..
What have been the most widely read articles at APJ? To find out, click on
"Top Ten Articles" at the
top of the home page, for the top
articles of the last month, last year, last five years and last decade.
Our home page has a number of important features. There is a powerful
search engine that permits search by author, title, and keyword, found in top
left of the home page. For most purposes, author's surname or a keyword entered
in Title is most useful. Another is a regularly updated guide to the more than
100 articles we have published on the 3.11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power
meltdown which is transforming Japanese politics and society, and is reshaping
issues of nuclear power and energy policy in that nation and globally. Articles
are arranged topically. In addition, we have added a guide to some of the most
important, and liveliest, online and print sources on 3.11 including blogs and
websites. Second, the list of articles now indicates all those available in
Japanese translation or original, as well as other languages.
