Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all of my respondents for their sustained engagement with my research. Especially, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the Penrith Japanese Community, who were willing to be interviewed in both Australia and Japan. I would also like to thank Yoshihide Hosaka for providing me with his invaluable collection of records of the activities of Japanese ethnic clubs in Australia since the early 1980s. Then, I owe my deepest gratitude to my principal supervisor, Distinguished Professor Ien Ang, for her encouragement and enduring supervision during my candidature. The feedback she gave to me in any meeting or correspondence was always critical but also always positive and constructive, which kept me working on this project to the end. Her supervision also taught me how to supervise someone else in my future career. I would like to thank my second supervisor, Associate Professor Judith Snodgrass, whose accurate and detailed comments greatly improved my thesis draft. I could not have met Japanese women in Greater Western Sydney without her information about local Japanese communities in the
