Ethnic Japanese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term Ethnic Japanese, or Nikkei (日系), usually refers to people who live outside Japan, who either emigrated from Japan or are descendants of a person who emigrated from Japan. The largest such communities are in the United States (mainly California and Hawaii), Brazil, and China (mainly Shanghai), although there are also sizable communities in Peru, Mexico, Russia, Australia (mainly Queensland and Sydney) as well as other countries. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ethnic_Japanese   (121 words)

UCLA International Institute :: Japanese Brazilian Return Migration and the Making of Japan's Newest Immigrant Minority Although Japanese Brazilians experienced considerable social integration and cultural assimilation, they continue to be strongly differentiated as an ethnic minority, one that is esteemed by most Brazilians for their supposed positive, "Japanese" cultural attributes, their affiliation with the highly respected First World nation of Japan, and their middle class socioeconomic and educational status. This image that Japanese held of Nikkeijin from Brazil was mirrored by the image that Japanese Brazilians had of Japan, and of themselves. And typically whatever Japanese they may speak is nonstandard and perceived by native Japanese as countrified and "low class." Actually, most Japanese Brazilian migrants are well educated, and were white-collar workers or businessmen in Brazil. www.international.ucla.edu /article.asp?parentid=6996   (1568 words)

JANM/INRP - Masato Ninomiya He is the Director of the Japanese Brazilian Immigration History Museum (Museu Histórico Da Imigracão Japonesa No Brasil) and Vice President of the Japanese Brazilian Cultural Center (Sociedade Brasileira De Cultura Japonesa) in São Paulo, Brazil. Earlier, as happened to returning children from abroad, Brazilian children encountered kind of ijime or bullying, non-existent in Brazil, which came from their lack of Japanese language skills or from being racially mixed. Japanese immigrants used to consider that teaching Japanese to their children was the “raison d’etre” of the Japanese. www.janm.org /projects/inrp/english/sc_nino.htm   (1190 words)

IDBAmerica: Filmmaker explores the Japan–Brazil connection The movie also shows a contemporary young Brazilian of Japanese ancestry, who when asked what generation she belongs to, replies that she’s not nissei (“second generation” in Japanese) or sansei (third generation), but não sei (“I don’t know” in Portuguese) or sometimes cansei (“I’m tired [of it]”). But when she visited Japan, she met Japanese-Brazilians who were desperately looking for a store where they could get some of that salami. A granddaughter of Japanese immigrants to Brazil, she recently gave a talk sponsored by the IDB Cultural Center on the interconnections between her two cultures. www.iadb.org /idbamerica/index.cfm?thisid=3533   (856 words)

Zen Buddhism in Brazil: Japanese or Brazilian? In addition, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs prohibited Japanese monks from accompanying the immigrants to the new country because their presence could prove to be evidence of Japanese non-assimilation into the mainly Roman Catholic Brazilian culture. Many Japanese descendants told me in interviews that one of the deciding factors for choosing to be affiliated with "Brazilian Zen (or 'convert-Zen')" over the "Japanese community Zen" was the language spoken because most Japanese descendants do not understand the Japanese language, which is spoken at the rituals for the Japanese community. The emperor's portrait was the divine body, the Imperial Rescript on Education the holy word, the Japanese national hymn the sacred chant, the school director the priest, and the Japanese school the deity [sic] of the village. www.globalbuddhism.org /1/derocha001.html   (7444 words)

Nikkei leave Brazil to meet the rising sun The Dekasegi, as the Brazilians of Japanese origin who emigrate to the country of their forebears are known, number about 250,000, or a quarter of the total Nikkei living in Brazil. Non-European immigrants, such as Arabs and Japanese, are met with strong rejection by the Brazilian elite, particularly for race-based reasons, Lesser says. This wave of Brazilian emigrants, which began in the 1980s and intensified in the 1990s, also accentuates the insecurities of the Nikkei with respect to their national identity. www.atimes.com /japan-econ/DC06Dh01.html   (993 words)

JPRI Occasional Paper No.13 A retired sergeant from the Japanese Imperial Army was suspected of being a spy and tortured to death by the Brazilian police, and the investigation of his death was obstructed. Japanese immigrants were first confronted with Brazilian political opposition to Japanese immigration in the 1930s. Japanese immigrants in Brazil were in the dark as to accurate information on the war, with no newspapers to read (most of them could not read Portuguese), and few radios at hand (most had been confiscated). www.jpri.org /publications/occasionalpapers/op13.html   (7257 words)

Natural History: No place to call home: Japanese Brazilians discover they are foreigners in the country of their ancestors Indeed, the Japanese Brazilians in Brazil have capitalized on the prevailing favorable image by embracing their Japanese identities while generally distancing themselves from what they perceive to be the negative aspects of Brazilian culture. Japanese Brazilians are now relatively well integrated into Brazilian society, but because of the attention that is given to racial appearance in Brazil, other Brazilians always refer to them as japones. With a population of about 280,000, Japanese-Brazilian immigrants have become the third-largest group of foreigners living in Japan, after the Koreans and Chinese. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1134/is_3_113/ai_n5990766   (1439 words)

JPRI Working Paper No. 88 In their views, strained relationships between Japanese and Brazilians could be normalized only if both parties were to try hard to understand cultural differences and to establish common rules for dealing with them. The economic exploitation of Brazilian guest workers is most obvious and firmly established in the system by which job brokers hire them on short-term contracts and then send them to their actual workplaces in sub-contractors’ factories. The relatively high proportion of Brazilians reported in the crime rate must be understood in the context of the fact that they accounted for 60 percent of the city’s foreign population at that time. www.jpri.org /publications/workingpapers/wp88.html   (6151 words)

Art2422.txt Brazilians with Japanese kin enjoy government's looser visa policies that started in 1990. Kemmisaki, who now has Japanese citizenship, could not speak Japanese proficiently when she came to Japan from Brazil at the age of nine when her parents immigrated, just like the students struggling to master the challenging language at her school. Kemmisaki decided to become a teacher when she was told by a publisher of newspaper for Brazilians in Japan that nearly half the children of Brazilian immigrants cannot attend school. www.asu.edu /educ/epsl/LPRU/newsarchive/Art2422.txt   (647 words)

American Ethnologist - Online Book Reviews In 2002 the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimated that nearly two million Brazilians were living abroad including some 250,000 Brazilians of Japanese descent who were living and working in the land of their ancestors. The analysis of Japanese notions of purity and foreign pollution is particularly helpful in understanding Japanese reactions to the Japanese-Brazilians who, for all intents and purposes, are culturally Brazilian. Tsuda’s discussion of his role as ethnographer in terms of his own social position, ethnicity, and ethnic identification vis-àà-vis his Japanese-Brazilian and Japanese informants is not the standard naval gazing discussion of reflexivity and it is mercifully free of postmodernist jargon. www.aaanet.org /aes/bkreviews/result_details.cfm?bk_id=3042   (767 words)

Brazil - Brazzil Magazine - Japanese Brazilian, Stay Off Japan! Or, when the Japanese cannot avoid seeing that these Brazilian Japanese do have a culture, their reaction is disgust, such as the one I witnessed one time in Kobe, where the resident Brazilian Japanese had a festa junina—June party. The fact is, the body language of the Brazilian person, no matter his or her ethnic origin, is completely different from the body language of the Japanese.

Center for Latin American Studies, UC Berkeley In the case of Japanese Brazilians, when they feel that they are in a bad economic state, some have created the option of returning to Japan to work for a set period of time in order to save money. After having spent a few years in Japanese grammar school, they feel that they were plucked out of their natural environment and forced to travel to Brazil by their parents. The interviews that I conducted helped to separate the Japanese immigration experience from textbooks to the multi-faceted experiences of the immigrants themselves. socrates.berkeley.edu:7001 /Research/graduate/summer2001/rivas   (721 words)

EIAL XII1 - The Problem of Missing Persons: Methodological Notes on Japanese-Brazilian Identities By blood they are Japanese; by nationality, they are Brazilian; and each of them must negotiate the identity dilemma posed by ethnic blood relatedness vs. membership in a racially mixed, pluralist nation. Among my interviewees was Oscar Ueda, a Brazilian of Japanese descent who migrated to Japan in 1993 and currently resides in Nagoya, the capital of Aichi prefecture. Japanese ethnic narratives emphasize blood relatedness: nowhere does Oscar deny his Japanese roots. www.tau.ac.il /eial/XII_1/linger.html   (5485 words)

JANM/INRP - Edson Mori The Japanese Brazilian dekasegui phenomenon has evolved over the years to include temporary migration of Japanese Brazilians to Japan starting in the mid-1980s and peaking in the mid-1990s. Edson Mori proposes to conduct qualitative and quantitative research on the contributions of Japanese-Brazilian dekasegui in the economies of Brazil and Japan. The term "dekasegui" is a Portuguese transliteration of the Japanese word "dekasegi" which refers to the practice of temporarily leaving one's native place for the purpose of work with the intention of returning home. www.janm.org /projects/inrp/english/sc_emori.htm   (549 words)

Sumo wrestling's BIG Brazilian presence / Large number of citizens with Japanese blood live in country Today, sumo is a way for older Japanese Brazilians to teach the younger generations about their cultural heritage. Like most Brazilians who are not of Japanese descent, he knew next to nothing about sumo then, let alone that it even existed in Brazil. Today, however, about 70 percent of all sumo aficionados in the country are Brazilians with no Japanese blood, in large part because of efforts by the local sumo association to popularize the sport among the public. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/01/30/MNGR1B1DTL1.DTL   (884 words)

Renata D. Freire et. al. - Nutritional status of Japanese-Brazilian subjects: comparison across gender and generation Taking into account the traditional Japanese diet, a high energy density diet and a sedentary lifestyle may be implicated in the high prevalence of central obesity and metabolic syndrome observed among Japanese-Brazilian subjects across gender and generations. These values are quite different from the usual intakes reported in Japan during the last decades (about 25 %). www.nutritionsociety.org.uk /bjn/089/bjn0890705.htm   (313 words)

Brokered Homeland: Joshua Roth Explores Barriers to Belonging in Japan When he interviewed Japanese Brazilians injured on the job, however, Roth found that most wanted to reconcile with employers—a stereotypically Japanese gesture of loyalty and sacrifice—but felt forced to seek justice in the courts instead when confronted by unsympathetic attitudes on the part of employers. He made a wide range of friends, both Japanese and foreign, including several Japanese Brazilian scholarship students who made him aware of the boundaries of belonging within Japanese society, boundaries that kept even immigrants of Japanese descent from feeling at home. In one paper from that study, Roth argues that Japanese Brazilians have successfully promoted themselves as “model Brazilians, fully compatible with Brazilian society,” pointing out that Japanese-style croquet is the only ethnic-exclusive sport given free public playing space in Sao Paulo. www.mtholyoke.edu /offices/comm/csj/040403/roth.shtml   (714 words)

Children Raised in Japan They have both Japanese and Brazilian friends, and are able to converse in both languages with ease. The lives of the Nikkei- Brazilian children, being so polarized, should evict a sense of admiration and awe for their acceptance of the Japanese culture and the recreation of Brazilian culture in Japan. Nikkei- Brazilian children raised in Japan are in a unique situation of being bicultural because they are bilingual. www.conncoll.edu /academics/departments/transnat/children/raisedjap.html   (294 words)

Brazil - Brasil - BRAZZIL - News from Brazil - The Japanese, Korean and Chinese in Brazil - Brazilian Immigration - February 2003 In fact the difference between Brazilian Japanese and the real Japanese culture is seen everyday in Japan itself where there are an estimated quarter of a million Brazilian immigrant workers and their families. In fact, while the Japanese have done well, their record is nothing special and a Brazilian of Japanese descent is as likely to be a peasant farmer or hairdresser as a brain surgeon or bank president. The streets were bedecked by Japanese and Brazilian flags and I am sure she was amazed to find herself amongst this multitude, at once so familiar yet also so strange. www.brazzil.com /p146feb03.htm   (910 words)
