Of Shadows and Goldfish
Bernardo Carvalho’s Brazilian novel, O sol se põe em São Paulo [The Sun Sets in São Paulo, 2007], alongside Shiozaki Shōhei’s Japanese film, Akaneiro no yakusoku: Sanba do kingyo (Goldfish Go Home, 2012), create postmodern narratives that render Japanese Brazilian dekasegi, or migrant laborers, similar to their depictions in historical archives: invisible and unable to emerge from the shadows. Through scenarios of discovery, the texts reveal how …

Imagining Asia in the Americas
For centuries, Asian immigrants have been making vital contributions to the cultures of North and South America. Yet in many of these countries, Asians are commonly viewed as undifferentiated racial “others,” lumped together as chinos regardless of whether they have Chinese ancestry. How might this struggle for recognition in their adopted homelands affect the ways that Asians in the Americas imagine community and cultural identity? The essays in…
Approaches between Asia and Latin America
55 Field Trip Curated by Andrea Bachner and Christopher Bush Approaches between Asia and Latin America: A Critical Renga 6 Framework Christopher Bush The conceit of a “critical renga” was loosely inspired by Octavio Paz, Jacques Roubaud, Edoardo Sanguineti, and Charles Tomlinson’s 1969 quadrilingual experiment in poetic composition Renga, itself loosely modeled on the Japanese poetic genre of that name. This form of “linked verse” became a major …
Traveling Texts and the Work of Afro-Japanese Cultural Production
Afro-Asian has become a term that scholars use to study the contradictions and like-mindedness of two distinctive regions across a south–south forum. And yet, scholars often refrain from including Japan in categorizations of the global south precisely because of its contemporary inclusion in world politics and economy as a G8 nation. Traveling Texts and the Work of Afro-Japanese Cultural Production: Two Haiku and a Microphone, edited by William H…

Songs from the Land of Eternal Summer
Upon arrival to Brazil in 1908, Japanese immigrants began creating a communal Japanese Brazilian narrative that acts as an alternative to Japanese and Brazilian histories and literatures. Pre-World War II immigrants, bound not only by their immigration experience but also by language, composed tanka poetry to capture the community's experiences vis-à-vis Japan and Brazil. These tanka were collected in the 1981 anthology Koronia man'yôshû 『コロニア万葉集…
Mistura for the Fans
In this article, I examine fans’ consumption of mixed-race Japanese Brazilian female bodies in Japan. The article does this by examining two case-study representations of Japanese Brazilian female bodies: Miss Nikkei in Karen Tei Yamashita's mixed-media collection of essays and short stories, Circle K Cycles (2001); and performances by the Japanese idol group Linda Sansei (2013 debut). I argue that although the Japanese Brazilian population has l…

Negotiating Mixed Race
Since their arrival in Brazil in 1908, the presence of Japanese immigrants has shaken Brazilian conceptions of race. Narratives of interracial marriages and biracial children in 1930s medical documents and short stories demonstrate the incorporation of the Japanese into Brazil and their subsequent marginalization within the Japanese community. This article compares and contrasts the shifting depictions of biracial Japanese-Brazilian children in B…
