Exploring the impact of foreign migrant workers on elements of sovereign power in Japan, Yoko Sellek examines how the country’s immigration control has been reshaped by the existence of these workers. The text traces the changing situation of foreign migrant workers in Japan from the mid-1980s to the turn of the century. A particular focus is the transition of these workers from temporary workers to long-term stayers or social beings .
