Summary Challenging the myth of Japan as a single-race society, half-Japanese girls are seen struggling to positively manoeuvre themselves and negotiate their identities into positions of contestation and control over marginalizing discourses which disempower them as 'others' within Japanese society as they begin to mature. This work examines these girls.
