    The Literacy Work and Discrimination in Japan

    This is a compilation of 28 essays written by students of literacy classes in Buraku neighborhoods and night-schools for Zainichi Koreans (Koreans resident in Japan) and people with disabilities. These students had been deprived of their right or opportunity to learn in the school system for reasons such as discrimination, exclusion, and poverty. All essays were originally written in Japanese then translated into English. Readers will discover the sense of joy, satisfaction and achievement felt through these works. The book was edited by the Buraku Liberation and Human Rights Research Institute (BLHRRI) and published by BLHRRI and IMADR.
