Produktbeschreibung

"Japanese Diasporas" highlights the relationships of overseas Japanese and their descendents (Nikkei) with their 'home' and 'host' nations. Frequently abandoned by their homeland, and experiencing alienation in their host nations, the diaspora sought to carve out lives between two worlds. Examining Nikkei communities and Japanese migration to Manchuria, China, Canada, the Philippines, Singapore and Latin America, Japanese Diasporas offers new perspectives on sociopolitical and cultural issues of transnational migrants and diaspora communities in an economically intertwined world.
