Searching for Home Abroad Japanese Brazilians and Transnationalism

"Jeffrey Lesser's achievement is that he and his colleagues have assembled the most comprehensive, multi-dimensional portrayal to date of the Japanese in Brazil as well as Brazilians of Japanese descent who have gone to work temporarily in Japan. Their research deftly illustrates how the multiple identities of immigrants and their descendants, as well as transnational labor migrants, can generate a plethora of responses as to where and what their real home actually is. As such, this book makes a seminal contribution to Asian, Latin American, and migration studies."-Lane Ryo Hirabayashi, University of California, RiversideLesser, Jeffrey is the author of 'Searching for Home Abroad Japanese Brazilians and Transnationalism' with ISBN 9780822331124 and ISBN 0822331128.
