Boat People: Vietnamese Refugees in Japan by Makoto Maekawa (1978, self-published) is a compelling documenting the struggles of Vietnamese "boat people" arriving in Japan post-Vietnam War. Through stark black-and-white images, Nagoya-born Maekawa captures their perilous journeys, makeshift camps, and resilience amid Japan’s hesitant asylum policies. A powerful work of social realism, it blends raw documentary photography with a call for compassion, reflecting the era’s activist spirit.
