"Each chapter of the volume has so much to offer as they reimagine the parameters of Black Studies temporally, geographically, and methodologically. A crystallization of Japan's Black Studies in the past and the present, the book will certainly be of great value to those interested in Black Studies, Japan Studies, American Studies and beyond." (Michio Arimitsu, Contemporary Japan, April 16, 2021)
