Postwar Emigration to South America from Japan and the Ryukyu Islands
In Postwar Emigration to South America from Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, Pedro Iacobelli discusses postwar Okinawan (Ryukyuan) emigration to South America, focusing on the role of the sending country. Under the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands (USCAR), Okinawa started its state-led emigration in June 1954, with Bolivia as the destination. Critical of the push-pull approach to international migrations, Iacobelli strongly a…
Marshall C. Eakin. Becoming Brazilians
Marshall C. Eakin’s Becoming Brazilians: Race and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Brazil “reconstructs the story of how one myth of national identity became history” (1) in twentieth-century Brazil. In his 1933 Casa-grande e senzala (translated as The Masters and the Slaves [1946]), Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre argued, according to Peter Fry, that “all Brazilians . . . were culturally Africans, Amerindians and Europeans” (quoted o…
Diaspora and Identity
Much has been published on the history of Japanese immigration to Brazil, Japanese Brazilians in Brazil, and Japanese Brazilians’ “return” labor migrations to Japan (known as dekassegui). Yet none has gone beyond and above the essentialized categories of “the Japanese” in Brazil and “Brazilians” in Japan. This book demonstrates that Japanese Brazilian identity has never been a static, fixed set of traits that can be counted and inventoried. Rathe…

Chapter Three. Niseis and Their Brazilian Identity
Rafael Marquese, Tâmis Parron, and Márcia Berbel. Slavery and Politics
There have been a good number of comparative historical studies on slavery and emancipation in Brazil and Cuba; their plantation economies thrived on slave labor until they became the last two countries to abolish slavery in the Western Hemisphere, in 1888 and 1886 respectively. However, Rafael Marquese, Tâmis Parron, and Márcia Berbel’s “comparative” monograph Slavery and Politics: Brazil and Cuba, 1790–1850 does not fit in that category; mainly…

Hotel Trópico
Jerry Dávila, author of Diploma of Whiteness (2003), has produced another exciting monograph on Brazilian racial thought during the twentieth century. Hotel Trópico begins with the election of President Getúlio Vargas for his third term (1951 – 54) and examines Brazil’s diplomatic initiatives in Africa during the time Brazil shifted to the military government (1964) and enjoyed her “economic miracle” (1969 – 74). The book title comes from a hotel…
Why Does a Nikkei Want to Talk to Other Nikkeis
■ This article explores the complexities of Japanese Brazilian identity in contemporary São Paulo, home to the largest concentration of Japanese descendants outside Japan. In the city of São Paulo, Japanese Brazilians are racially placed as whites and also identify themselves as such, based on their collective socio-economic position as members of the urban middle class. Yet their claims to participate in whiteness are widely undermined by racial…

In it he discusses the critical decline of the sugar plantation economy in the British West Indies followed by the outbreak of the American Revolution. In the foreword, Colin Palmer discusses the importance of Carrington’s work in Caribbean histori…
