In recent years, Turkish immigrants, particularly Turkish Kurds, in Kawaguchi, have become one of the main targets of escalating anti-immigrant hate speech, neighborhood conflict narratives, and acts of hate. Their strategies for managing everyday conflicts while countering these narratives have become increasingly vital for navigating life in a foreign country. This research examines this case through the analytical lenses of everyday peace and agonistic peace, exploring the role of immigrant-led peacebuilding practices. Primary data were collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with Turkish immigrants and other key informants. Additionally, netnographic methods, including passive observation of public social media accounts of key actors, supplemented the ethnographic data. Content and thematic analysis techniques were used for data analysis. Findings indicate that immigrant peacebuilding strategies have the potential to disrupt neighborhood conflict narratives by producing counter-narratives and fostering spaces for mutual recognition. Yet, the transformative potential of these immigrant-led peace practices is constrained by residential segregation and involuntary isolation from the host community, as well as the precarious legal residency status of many immigrants. These factors undermine immigrants’ recognition as legitimate actors, highlighting the urgent need to expand spaces of encounter and legitimize their positions through more inclusive legal and policy frameworks.
