ABSTRACT
In common with the other contributions to this volume, this chapter contains multiple foci: the historical formation of the present-day Korean community in Japan, with particular reference to settlement in Hiroshima and Nagasaki; historical memory – its commemoration and suppression – in relation to these two cities; and, set against the decades-long struggle for human rights, the efforts to establish a ‘Third Way’, a zainichi identity congruent with both a Korean cultural past and a Japanese cultural present.
