This study aims to clarify how the images of "foreigners-as-contributors" in middle school history textbooks are reproduced in Japanese junior high school history textbooks. In Japan, also in many other countries, foreigners are requested to contribute to the benefit of the country. Those who cannot serve the function tend to be shunned by the community; in other words, they are oppressed by the majority Japanese. To tackle the mentioned oppression, the authors decided how the oppressive discourse is reproduced in Japanese society. For doing that, we conducted a critical discourse analysis of how history textbooks select and describe others from abroad. We choose history textbooks than civics’ because history does not deal with foreigners directly; therefore, students might absorb the narrative about them without much doubt. We discovered that the descriptions of "Toraijin," "Jianzhen (Ganjin in Japanese)," and "Foreign government advisors in Meiji Japan (Oyatoi-gaikokujin in Japanese)" aligned with the oppressing structure of the non-contributable foreigners. The details will be discussed in the paper.
