<p>This article covers the thinking behind the choice of “From Roots to Routes: Where are the Children of the Newcomers Now?” as a special research topic for the 33rd Annual Conference of the Intercultural Education Society of Japan. It also presents what was discussed on that day and the range of that discussion.</p><p>This special topic was chosen in order to take another look at the children of newcomers, who grow increasingly invisible, by shifting our viewpoint “from roots to routes.” Their roots are their former homes to which they might be expected to return. On the other hand, their routes are the paths from which they arrived here over the course of various transitions. Roots are invaluable when it comes to rallying and resistance of minorities, but if essentialized, they in fact become oppressive. Instead, we wanted to look at routes, which include unavoidable distortion and differences.</p><p>On the day of the symposium, the topic involving the risks of tying children to their roots was discussed in numerous case studies. Even if the intentions are good, the majority demanding that the minority must adhere to its ethnic names, language, and culture can mean forcing the minority into a framework conceived by the majority. In addition, to consider deviant behavior from the point of culture is to ignore the experiences of minorities and abandon them to their fate. Instead, the possibility of opening new routes exists in new stories woven by the minorities themselves and their “significant others.” The self-expressions of the writers and researchers who cross borders also suggest the possibility to take advantage of diversity and mobility.</p>
