[Commlist] JCEA_CfP_Special Winter 2020 Issue_Friends and Foes of Multicultural East Asia

*Call for Papers*

The Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA), a refereed open-access 
journal
on East and Southeast Asia, is announcing a call for papers for a 
special Winter 2020 Issue:
*Friends and Foes of Multicultural East Asia. *

Three decades have passed since East Asia emerged as a new destination 
for migrants.
While industrialized economies in this region have mostly accepted 
temporary guestworkers
and coethnic migrants, the rapid emergence of multiethnic societies has 
brought about
new research into multicultural East Asia. In the last decade, emerging 
scholarship on xenophobic
discourses and practices has also documented the rise of a backlash 
against multiculturalism,
primarily from the right- wing but also from liberal-oriented actors. 
Most such studies exclusively
address either one or the other dimension of this inter-related 
development. Against this background,
the purpose of this special issue is to provide a forum for 
cross-national conversation on the historical
process and political contexts that shape the complex landscape of 
multiculturalism and xenophobia in East Asia.

The topics that we are particularly interested in include, but are not 
limited to:

・ Multicultural policies, practices and their critics
・ Racism, xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiments
・ Pro-migrant and anti-immigrant movements
・ Legacies of colonialism and the Cold War on migration in East Asia
・ Cultures and social mobility of migrants
・ The rise of multicultural families and its implications
・ Multiculturalism in education

The deadline for abstract submission is *March 31.*
