This book is a volume comprising eight chapters that provide a diverse study of the Japanese and Korean diaspora of Sakhalin. Primarily, the monograph explores the issues of education, the use of languages, and the formation of self-identification of the Japanese and Korean diasporas of Sakhalin for a 100 years, from the time they moved to the island until their “return” to historical homelands: Japan or South Korea. During this time, their language environment and language of education changed four times, and the Japanese and Korean of Sakhalin continued to be a linguistic and ethnic minority. The present book focuses on these four events: (1) history of migration to Sakhalin/Karafuto, and Japanese society and Korean community on Karafuto; (2) repatriation, migration, and the left-behind population after the end of the Second World War; (3) the new wave of repatriation and movement of the population between the 1950s and 1970s; and (4) modern repatriation to Japan and South Korea and formation of a new ethnic community.
