  This book examines the ethnic, gendered and embodied `hybrid' identities of `half-Japanese' girls in Japan. The girls struggle to positively construct their identities into positions of control over disempowering discourses of `otherness' as they negotiate their constructed identities of `Japaneseness', `whiteness' and `halfness/doubleness'.
