heterogeneous Japan

I want to start a list of books that are antithetical to the idea that Japan is ethnically homogenous. I have not read all these books, and so will not attempt any reviews here. If people would like to see a book added to this list, please comment. I suppose eventually if this list grows, I will have to divide it into sections. But for now, I'll keep it like this. I've now added a new section, links of interest. There are many *obvious* links that need to be added, but haven't yet. Of course any links people send me will be added.
