Fascinating article on the concept of kegare 穢れ - impurity, contamination, etc. - which is central in the discrimination against women, foreigners, and so-called buraku people. I learned about this first from my friends in the buraku liberation movement, including workers at the Tokyo slaughterhouse.

Great to see that @michaelafisher is continuing her year-long learning journey with a visit to Japan. Hoping to introduce her to many great cooperativists and movement people there. Let's organize an online discussion with her in the fall -- to hear about her trip and the people and projects she encountered.

The Social Justice Learning Collective is holding an event on July 2nd, in Tokyo, about discrimination against people with Hansen's Disease. We will show the film "An" (Sweet Bean) and speak with Haruhei Ishiyama, who has spoken out with his fellow former inmates (people were forcibly quarantined under a law only repealed in 1996).

The Social Justice Learning Collective (aka Jinkore) is hosting an event in Tokyo on July 2nd with the film "An" and a conversation with Ishiyama Shunpei, an organizer of people with Hansen's Disease (leprosy).

ハンセン病患者は法によって強制隔離され、偏見と差別によって長い間苦しんできました。その患者や回復者の命がけの闘いで 1996 年に「らい予防法」が廃止されましたが、いまだに偏見と差別は続いています。
ヘイトスピーチや社会的差別がむしろ強まっている今、人権を守り差別を無くす取り組みの一つとして、「ハンセン病を考える映画とお話の集い」を企画しました。河瀨直美監督の映画「あん」を鑑賞した後、ハンセン病回復者の石山春平さんにお話を聞きます。

We have a small project here in Tokyo called Social Justice Learning Collective . We organize workplace and community tours and exchange with social movement groups. Thinking of organizing a more ambitious tour for people from North America some time in 2018. Anyone interested?
