28 Nov / Searching for Home Abroad: Japanese Brazilians and Transnationalism edited by Jeffrey Lesser [in AsianWeek]
A unique collection of essays that explores the experience of being Japanese in Brazil (during the first half of the 20th century, tens of thousands of Japanese immigrated to Brazil) and, more recently, being Brazilian Japanese in Japan. Check out the tongue-in-cheek look at the concept of rules by Brazilian Japanese American novelist Karen Tei Yamashita.
