Japanese Diasporas examines the relationship of overseas Japanese
and their descendents (Nikkei) with their home and host nations,
focusing on the political, social and economic struggles of Nikkei.
Frequently abandoned by their homeland, and experiencing alienation
in their host nations, the diaspora have attempted to carve out
lives between two worlds. Examining Nikkei communities and Japanese
migration to Manchuria, China, Canada, the Philippines, Singapore
and Latin America, the book compares Nikkei experiences with those
of Japanese transnational migrants living abroad. The authors
connect theoretical issues of ethnic identity with the Japanese and
Nikkei cases, analyzing the hidden dynamics of the social
construction of race, ethnicity and homeland, and suggesting some
of the ways in which diasporas are transforming global society
today. Presenting new perspectives on socio-political and cultural
issues of transnational migrants and diaspora communities in an
economically intertwined world, this book will be of great interest
to scholars of diaspora studies and Japanese studies.
