Description

This essay examines Identity Management Theory (IMT) with a critical perspective of multiculturalism. Tabunka kyosei or "multicultural co-living" is a Japanese indigenous notion equivalent to multiculturalism that has been constructed in Japanese social, political, and cultural contexts and used in various senses. A critical approach to multicultural co-living views culture more fluidly and heterogeneously, paying close attention to power relations among cultural groups. IMT explains how cultural identities are negotiated as two individuals from different cultural backgrounds develop their intercultural relationship. Using a critical approach to multicultural co-living, this essay explores IMT, as well as its theoretical implications for building a multicultural society.
