Abstract: It is frequently acknowledged that the notion of 'race' is a socio-political construct that requires constant refurbishment.However, the process and consequences of racialization are less carefully explored.By examining the ideology about nationhood and colonial policies of the Japanese state in relation to Koreans, I will attempt to demonstrate why and how the Japanese state racialized its population.By so doing, I will argue that the state is deeply involved in racialization by fabricating and authorizing 'differences' and 'similarities' between the dominant and minority groups.
