  The current spotlight on habitually disregarded peoples and cultural phenomena—such as resident Koreans and their literature (in Japan), the Japanese-language compositions of colonial and even postcolonial Korean and Taiwanese writers, the Chinese-language compositions of Japanese writers in both the premodern and modern periods, and the heteroglossia of the Japanophone and the sinophone more generally—is welcome and long overdue.
