Where Did Japanese Come From By Namiko Abe It is not absolutely known to which language group Nihongo (Japanese language) belongs. The structure of Nihongo is completely different from Indo-European languages such as English and French. This is why it is seen as a difficult language to learn from a western perspective. It is known that Nihongo was developed within a reasonably stable (isolated) environment over a long period of time. As a result of this isolation, a form of conversation developed wherein commonly known matters are not spoken of.

In the fall of 1968, African American students at UCSB occupied North Hall and demonstrated against the systematic exclusion of Black Studies from university courses. The university administration accepted demands for the establishment of a Department of Black Studies. In conjunction with this, the Center for Black Studies was created to monitor, coordinate, support, and encourage research in the community. Kenzaburo Oe, "Huckleberry Finn and the American Dream in the Shadow of the Vietnam War", The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 13, Issue. 42, No. 1, October 26, 2015 Translated by Hiroaki Sato Translator’s note: What follows is a translation of the second half of Ōe Kenzaburō’s article, America ryokōsha no yume—jigoku ni yuku Huckleberry Finn, which was first published in the September 1966 issue of the monthly Sekai (The World). The untranslated first half begins, “America. I shall never become entirely free from the oppressing, demonic power of the word America,” and describes how the writer has lived since boyhood “within the conflicting, extremely complicated [inferiority] complex that the word America evokes.” Ōe first read Huckleberry Finn as a boy in a remote Japanese mountain village.
