Outline:

The Center for Glocal Studies, Seijo University, together with the Association for Immigration Studies, is hosting a lecture by Professor Elliot Young from the history department at Lewis & Clark College. Professor Young will be residing in Japan as a short-term invited researcher in the 2019 Japan Residency Program hosted by the Japanese Association for American Studies (JAAS) and the Organization of American Historians (OAH) with the assistance of the Japan–United States Friendship Commission (JUSFC). Professor Young describes the trans-Pacific history of the Chinese coolie trade and international migration in the Americas and across the Pacific Ocean in his recent book, Alien Nation (2014), which is based on his research on the historical social construction of the concepts of ethnicity and national identity in the “borderlands” along the United States–Mexico border. In this lecture, he will talk about the history of the Chinese coolie trade and international migration from the 19th century to World War II, focusing on the material in Alien Nation. The history of immigration policy in the Americas, which included efforts to seek out Chinese workers as well as strict restrictions on their immigration, can also be viewed as relevant to contemporary Japanese society, as we are beginning to welcome an ever-greater number of foreign workers into the country.
