Review Quotes: "Japanese society is likely to be changing and the publication of this book is timely. These chapters reveal that Japan is not a homogeneous and monolingual country rather, it is a heterogeneous and multilingual one. Readers will listen to the voices of invisible minorities who have struggled to secure their personal and/or professional identities in Japan and beyond." --Masahide Ishihara, University of the Ryukyus, Japan
