It connects three disparate literatures--on the global justice movement, on Japanese civil society, and on global citizenship education. Through the narratives of fifty activists in eight overlapping issue areas--global governance, labor, food sovereignty, peace, HIV\/AIDS, gender, minority and human rights, and youth--\u003ci\u003eAnother Japan is Possible\u003c\/i\u003e examines the genesis of these new social movements; their critiques of neoliberalism, militarism, and nationalism; their local, regional, and global connections; their relationships with the Japanese government; and their role in constructing a new identity of the Japanese as global citizens. Its purpose is to highlight the interactions between the global and the local--that is, how international human rights and global governance issues resonate within Japan and how, in turn, local alternatives are articulated by Japanese advocacy groups--and to analyze citizenship from a postnational and postmodern perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Chan is Associate Professor of Education at the University of British Columbia.
