| Summary/Abstract |
Will Kymlicka's theories of multiculturalism have gained wide interest in the West but only recently have been applied beyond it. This research note assesses whether a Kymlickian approach provides traction for grasping the configuration of nondominant ethnic groupings in Japan and how they have achieved a degree of multicultural recognition. It first identifies equivalents and exceptions within the Japanese case to Kymlicka's key groupings: national minorities, indigenous peoples, immigrants, and metics. It then shows that of these, the last two drove the expansion of multicultural rights. Finally, it examines why they launched claims within a multicultural framework and assess the limits of the multicultural claims for bolstering the rights of subordinate groups.

| Summary/Abstract |
Twenty-five years and counting, since Will Kymlicka's first book-length intervention in 1989,1 statements championing the politics of recognition and/or difference have emerged along with statements challenging the liberal accommodation of minority cultures.2 Falling under the broad description of multiculturalism, this genre of literature has gained traction in the mainstream and beyond. Today at least three specialized areas of research have been developed sometimes in opposition to and sometimes overlapping with liberal multiculturalism: feminist criticisms of multiculturalism,3 multiculturalism as antiracism, 4 and multiculturalism in Asia.5 Taking cue from, but not delimiting to, the last and burgeoning strand of multiculturalism, this special issue seeks to draw particular attention to three interrelated phenomena of ethnicities, governance, and human rights in Asia. Although these three topics have often been discussed in political science and sociology journals, rarely have they been examined in one setting. Moreover, these three issues tend to be subsumed under the broad descriptions of post-colonialism, nationalism, state-building, and development; they are largely incorporated into monograms on justice, democracy, rights, the state, culture, and equality. That is, despite their importance, the three themes have not been brought together.

| Summary/Abstract |
Alan Patten's social lineage account of cultural continuity is the most recent effort to provide multicultural theory with a non-essentialist concept of culture, its continuity and loss that meets broadly liberal normative desiderata. In this essay, I argue that it too fails to offer an alternative to essentialism, to meet standard liberal normative stipulations, and to construct a theory of continuity sufficient to underpin the present claims of involuntarily incorporated communities. That result is theoretically interesting for it shows the deep intractability of the problems at the core of liberal multiculturalism.
