The Japanese Empire and Latin America provides a comprehensive
analysis of the complicated relationship between Japanese migration
and capital exportation to Latin America and the rise and fall of
the empire in the Asia-Pacific region. It explains how Japan’s
presence influenced the cultures and societies of Latin American
countries and also explores the role of Latin America in the
evolution of Japanese expansion. Together, this collection of
essays presents a new narrative of the Japanese experience in Latin
America by excavating trans-Pacific perspectives that shed new
light on the global significance of Japan’s colonialism and
expansionism. The chapters cover a variety of topics, such as
economic expansion, migration management, cross-border community
making, the surge of pro-Japan propaganda in the Americas, the
circulation of knowledge, and the representation of the "other" in
Japanese and Latin American fictions. By focusing on both
government action and individual experiences, the viewpoints
examined create a complete analysis, including the roles the empire
played in the process of settler identity formation in Latin
America. While the colonialist and expansionist discourses in Japan
set a stage for the beginning of Japanese migration to Latin
America, it was the vibrant circulation of information between East
Asia and the Americas that allowed the empire to stay at the center
of the cultural life of communities on the other side of the globe.
The empire left an enduring mark on Latin America that is hard to
ignore. This volume explores long-neglected aspects of the Japanese
global expansion; and thus, moves our understanding of the
empire’s significance beyond Asia and rethinks its legacy in
global history.
