Towards a More Just Educational Policy for Minorities in Japan: The Case of Korean Ethnic Schools.
Motani, Yoko
Comparative Education, v38 n2 p225-37 May 2002

The oppression of ethnic schools has resulted from a discriminatory assimilation policy, not the application of liberal principles intended to achieve greater equality and justice.
