The relationship between language and citizenship in Japan has traditionally been regarded as a fixed tripartite: Japanese citizenship means Japanese ethnicity, which in turn means Japanese as ones first language. Historically, most nonJapanese who have chosen to take out citizenship have been members of the oldcomer Chinese and Korean communities, born and raised in Japan. But this is changing: the last three decades have seen an influx of newcomer economic migrants from a wide range of countries, many of whom choose to stay. The likelihood that they will apply for citizenship, to access the benefits it confers, means that citizenship and ethnicity can no longer be assumed to be synonyms in Japan.This is an important change for national discourse on cohesive communities. This books chapters discuss discourses, educational practices, and local linguistic practices which call into question the accepted view of the languagecitizenship nexus in lived contexts of both existing Japanese citizens and potential future citizens. Through an examination of key themes relating both to newcomers and to an older group of citizens whose language practices have been shaped by historical forces, these essays highlight the fluid relationship of language and citizenship in the Japanese context.
