Yasuko I. Takezawa (竹沢泰子, born 1957)[1] is a Japanese cultural anthropologist who researches race, ethnicity, and immigration in the United States, Japan, and other countries. She is a professor of cultural anthropology and sociology at the Institute for Research in the Humanities of Kyoto University.

Career

Takezawa is a professor cultural anthropology and sociology at Kyoto University.[2][3] She specializes in the study of race, ethnicity, and immigration, particularly in the United States and Japan.[4] A distinguishing concern of Takezawa’s research is that race is not a modern Western construction but a construction emanating from the Middle Ages at least in Europe and Japan.[5][6]

She is the author of Breaking the Silence: Ethnicity and Redress among Japanese Americans (1995)[7] which was one of the finalists of Victor Turner Prize of the American Anthropological Association. Its Japanese version, 新装版 日系アメリカ人のエスニシティ (Transformation of Japanese American Ethnicity; 1994),[8] won the Shibusawa Award of the Japanese Ethnological Society[9] (now the Japanese Association of Cultural Anthropology).[10]
